COMING TOGETHER IN TIMES OF CRISIS
In this time of concern and uncertainty about COVID-19, we are keeping you and every member of the NETWORK community in our hearts and our minds.
Our Position
The importance of human dignity and relationship is made clear in a crisis such as this. We encourage you and your loved ones to follow the instruction of health officials and your state and local leaders, and fall on the side of extra precaution for the sake of protecting your own health and that of your community.
We also continue to advocate for the wellbeing of those at the margins and those who are most vulnerable to increased suffering. We have been in close communication with Congress, urging them to prioritize the needs of low-income individuals and families, and give particular attention to individuals at increased risk of infection, including: immigrants and children in detention, individuals in prison, those in long-term care facilities, and our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
