Our vision and values guide our work on these issues...
NETWORK envisions and works for a more humane world, one of justice and care for the common good. We act in solidarity with justice activists throughout the global community.
Our work is firmly rooted in our Catholic social justice tradition, which encompasses Scripture, Catholic Social Teaching and the lives of Jesus and people of faith who have followed the Gospel call to act for justice. We believe that faith has a public dimension. As the Church teaches us, “Every citizen… has the responsibility to work to secure justice and human rights through an organized social response.” Economic Justice for All, #120
The 110th Congress
Our advocacy work with the 110th Congress focuses on critical issues such as a federal budget that adequately addresses human needs, the ongoing war in Iraq, a fair minimum wage, immigration, food security, global trade policies, and healthcare. In this era of globalization, we are always conscious of the fact that U.S. domestic issues are intertwined with the global common good.
