Dana Buhl
Director of Social Justice
(she/her)
Dana joined staff as the Social Justice Director in the Summer of 2017. She’s attended First Unitarian Church since 2003 and was drawn to Unitarian Universalism as a young adult because of its commitment to social and racial justice. It has been her privilege to serve First Unitarian by melding her passion for human rights and love of home in the Pacific Northwest with her deep commitment to intersectional community organizing.
Dana draws on her experience as Program Coordinator and Director of the Legal Resources Project of the International Human Rights Internship Program. In that position, she co-authored a book on economic, social, and cultural rights as human rights that synthesized the essential learning of front-line activists from countries of the South. Dana earned a Masters of International Administration with a focus on Training and Intercultural Communication from the School for International Training. Her B.A. in Sociology and Afro-American Studies is from Wesleyan University.
