The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest. Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

“The clergy, who hail from a range of traditions and worship communities across the country, sang on the buses as they ventured out into the street.” This is absolutely amazing and inspiring and oh it is -10 degrees (that’s right negative) in Minneapolis today.

NETWORK sends you all hope and resolve on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Congress is debating additional funding for ICE. This would enable ICE to continue inhumane practices against immigrant communities. We must act now! Email your representatives and urge them to protect our neighbors. 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/appr... #ImmigrantRights #TakeAction #Catholic

In response to the Senate deal that fails to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that keep health care affordable for 24 million Americans, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice Executive Director Laurie Carafone issued the following statement: networklobby.org/news/111025-...

Please join us in prayer and solidarity!

“Congress, legislators, policy makers, lay aside these political games and listen to both of your constituents and your consciousness to say that we can do better.” Ralph is right! 42 million people do not have to go hungry tonight. Tell Congress to act now: actionnetwork.org/letters/take...

1 in 8 people or 42 million people in the U.S. will go to bed hungry again tonight because they rely on SNAP. We are living through an affordability crisis. There is no reason so many of our children will go to school hungry. Tell Congress to restore SNAP now. actionnetwork.org/letters/take...

NETWORK sends our love, gratitude, and prayers to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi as she announces her retirement. A longtime friend and ally in the work, from the Affordable Care Act to advocating for the Child Tax Credit, her leadership has paved the way on this ongoing journey for justice.

In the middle of it all, our interfaith community is still here. We are working together as a beloved community to preserve lower healthcare costs, get SNAP benefits released, and get the government open the right way. actionnetwork.org/letters/take...

It's time to look to next year's midterm elections, where the real work toward preserving and protecting democracy happens. Mia Lazo, a NETWORK Coston Fellow and student at Mount St. Mary's University in Los Angeles, reflects: networklobby.org/blog/yall-mi...

Our call: end the shutdown, protect workers, and care for those in need. It’s time to put people first by funding the government, protecting the healthcare and food assistance programs and ensuring Congress’ appropriations decisions are adhered to. networklobby.org/wp-content/u...
