NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice
Founded by Catholic Sisters in the progressive spirit of Vatican II, NETWORK works to create a society that promotes justice and the dignity of all in the shared abundance of God’s creation.
Inspired by our founders and the leadership of the women who followed, we faithfully embody Gospel justice as we ignite hope in the world. We are rooted in Catholic Social Justice and are open to all who share our passion.
As an organization founded by Catholic Sisters and open to all who share our passion, we engage in the ongoing work to become a multicultural anti-racist organization, value women’s leadership, welcome and affirm members of the LGBTQ+ community, and accept and appreciate people from religious as well as secular backgrounds.
In a world of growing economic disparity and increasing individualism, we call for federal policies that dismantle systemic racism, eliminate the wealth and income gap, improve the wellbeing of our communities, and allow all people to thrive — especially those most often left out: women; Black, Latinx, Asian, and Native American communities; people on the economic margins; and all at the intersections of these identities.
