The UCC makes sure laws that protect people's rights are implemented at the local level. Eleanor Roosevelt actively broke up the log jams that impeded implementation of policies promoting human/civil rights. The UCC continues in this spirit by breaking up new log jams as they are created.

The UCC is seen as a vehicle for all individuals to be able to be active participants in local government and council; to be heard in policy making; and to be able to attend and be a part of community events; live together and be able to enjoy the community together, without bias, prejudice, harm, or violation of their human/civil rights; and to expect enforcement of these if violated. Join us in creating local communities that live up to these principles!

- Individuals are more creative and productive citizens when the community finds ways to include everyone and remove the small but significant roadblocks to self improvement such as issuing Disorderly Conduct tickets for protected free speech. We teach our children about the constitution, the first amendment, and that all people deserve equal justice when in practice many cities still harass people for protected speech. These kinds of contradictions create discontent, discord, and keep working people from improving their lives. For working people a three hundred dollar unjustified ticket is more than an inconvenience, it is a financially and emotionally debilitating and humiliating event. It reinforces the idea that the system is actively trying to keep them down. In a globally competitive environment communities simply cannot afford to perpetuate these negative ideas.

- Individuals gain pride in their community when they feel like they make a difference and their ideas are heard, when they are allowed to improve themselves and the community. We can no longer afford to simply discard people who did not start out with our advantages or who might have made mistakes in their youth. People who want to improve themselves and their community must be encouraged regardless of their station in life.

Why should you care about the little wrongs? Why care about the little injustices? As Malcolm Gladwell makes so beautifully clear in his best selling book The Tipping Point, allowing the small injustices to continue unchecked quickly leads to an environment where large injustices go unchecked. When people see that the little injustices are tolerated in a community they instinctively know that larger injustices are tolerated.

Not only do every day people instinctively recognize this fact but high value employers recognize it too. Those companies with the best jobs; those companies with the best working environments; those companies with the highest wages; those companies with offices in other cities, not yours instinctively know this fact too. Ask yourself why you don't have one of those jobs. Ask yourself why you have to drive an hour or more away from your city for a good job, then look around for the little injustices that tell these companies that your city is a city to avoid.

How can you make a difference? How can you make your city an attractive sought after city?
