  • Our Issues

    NETWORK’s political ministry has always advocated for better federal policy that supports the flourishing of all of us. The six issues in focus are part of NETWORK’s broader platform, An Economy for All policy agenda, and reflect the challenges that people struggle with in their everyday lives, and the reality of Congress and the Administration.

  • Support Our Work

    Our consistent people-powered and person-focused advocacy for just federal policies has led to many notable policy victories, but we never lose sight of the relationships, community, and encounters at the center of what we do. All who share our passion for the common good are invited to become new activists and supporters. Gifts of all sizes are greatly welcomed to support our hope-filled movement for social justice.

  • About Us

    Founded by Catholic Sisters in 1972, we are committed to centering racial justice and equity at the heart of our political ministry and to holding ourselves accountable to communities of color inside and outside of our organization, in order to dismantle systemic racism in our society. NETWORK’s commitment to Gospel values and Catholic Social Justice principles is expressed on two websites. The first, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, is a 501(c)(4) non-profit whose work focuses on lobbying and grassroots advocacy for specific legislation and policies to advance the common good. The second, NETWORK Advocates for Catholic Social Justice, at www.networkadvocates.org, is a 501c)(3) non-profit devoted to advocacy and voter education, including training, webinars, and other resources, on the policies that are central to our mission.
