We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend at IFTJ! @ignatiansolidarity.bsky.social

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...

November is Black Catholic History Month, in which we live out our faith in the midst of a horrific challenges in society and a deeply imperfect church. networklobby.org/blog/2025-bl...

Lost in the chaos of our current politics is the reality that millions of people lose their ability to afford health care if Congress fails to renew the ACA premium tax credits. Jackalope Labbe of NETWORK's Young Advocates Leadership Lab (Y.A.L.L.) explains: networklobby.org/blog/health-...

NETWORK is joining the "One Church, One Family" public witness across the country to support communities impacted by raids, violence, and separation of families. At the event in front of ICE headquarters in DC today, we proclaimed the dignity of immigrants and prayed together.

What is permitting reform? It will help determine whether future generations inherit clean air and thriving ecosystems or a planet scarred by short-sighted extraction and political expediency.

We were inspired to see so many people of faith among the 7 million who gathered in cities this weekend to advocate for what we know is right: affordable health care, food for those who need it, voting rights, diversity, and care for all families, immigrants, and our common home.
