Through political ups and downs\, the NETWORK community has continuously advocated for federal policies that advance racial and economic justice and promote the common good. \nIn honor of NETWORK’s 50-year justice journey\, we invited all members and supporters of our Spirit-filled network to Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Confronting Racism at the U.S. Southern Border: What People of Faith Can Learn from Haitian Asylum-Seekers

Featured in the discussion will be Haitian asylum-seekers\, and the people of faith who welcome them\, about their experience at the border. Ronnate Asirwatham\, NETWORK’s Government Relations Director\, is a featured moderator. Join us to hear stories of truth and see how people on the ground are confronting racism at the U.S. Southern border. \nThe Missionary Society of St. Columban is witnessing humanitarian injustices as it accompanies the Haitian citizens in Ciudad Juarez\, across the border from El Paso\, TX. In response to the community’s needs\, we run shelters and safe spaces that protect families with young children and other initiatives like the resource navigation project. \nBut the Church must do more than meet peoples’ basic needs. Grounded in our faith\, we must act to dismantle the racism that displaces Haitians and other migrants from their homes\, and that now prevents them from finding safety in the United States. Join us on Zoom on Tuesday\, July 12\, 2002 at 4:00 PM[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1452190772819{margin-top: -90px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”92px”][vc_single_image image=”28937″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_btn title=”Register Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#f26724″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_3JXSf1n_SU-878O6dp9S3w”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Making Repair a Reality: How an H.R.40-style Commission is Vital to the Build Anew Agenda
DESCRIPTION:***An online event*** H.R. 40 would establish a commission to study the impact of 400+ years of racist policies\, laws\, and practices that have deprived Black Americans fair access and equal treatment in our country’s economic\, political\, social\, and cultural life. Reparations would make repair a reality. As NETWORK Executive Director Mary Novak states\, “Creating a federal reparations commission is a central way that we name\, understand and address our past and build anew.”  \nJoin us on Zoom. Register for the webinar here. \nEach year since 1989\, H.R. 40 has been introduced in the House. In 2021\, for the first time\, it passed out of committee for a full vote. While it has almost all of the votes needed to pass the full House\, support in the Senate is low. NETWORK\, and our partners who have been working in this space for decades\, are now calling on President Biden to create an H.R. 40-like commission through an executive order. \nI hope you join me\, NETWORK Deputy Executive Director & Chief Equity Officer\, Joan Neal\, Mary Novak\, and special guests to learn more about our Catholic Social Justice perspective on reparations\, and how the movement to establish a commission has shifted to the Biden Administration. \nJarrett Smith\, \nNETWORK Government Relations Advocate

SUMMARY:Join NETWORK's In-Person Vigil to End Title 42 Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:March 21\, 2022 marks two years since President Trump authorized the Title 42 expulsion policy\, a racist\, inhumane policy with no medical basis. It was deployed as a tool to turn migrants and asylum seekers away at our country’s Southern border. Since President Biden came into office\, NETWORK’s community of justice-seekers and our partners have repeatedly called on his administration to end the misuse of Title 42 and restore asylum-to no avail. \nOn Monday\, March 21 at 1:00pm\, NETWORK and partners from the immigrant and health community are holding a vigil to end Title 42. Can you join us? \nVigil to End Title 42 Expulsion Policy\nCenters for Disease Control (CDC)\, 395 East St. SW\, Washington\, DC 20024\n1:00 p.m. (people will begin gathering at 12:30 p.m.)\nThe vigil will last 45 minutes. We hope that you can join us! \nSign Up Here

SUMMARY:February Community Conversation: Embodying Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rdO-prDMjGtzQU_v57UHsIysAHl7sEaXo  \nWhat do our advocacy efforts look like beyond the legislative visit and the leave-behind? How can we work to center impacted communities\, especially the voices of people of color and immigrants\, in our advocacy efforts? Join us for this crucial conversation on embodying solidarity in our work\, featuring our special guest speaker and winner of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s 2021 Cardinal Bernadin New Leadership Award\, Ogechi Akalegbere! Ogechi will share with us her experiences as a community organizer with Action in Montgomery (AIM)\, a CCHD-funded organization in the Archdiocese of Washington\, and reflect on the importance of bringing the Catholic principles of solidarity and subsidiarity to our advocacy work. \nOgechi Akalegbere is a Nigerian-American\, Catholic young adult leader who is passionate about the faith call to do justice. With AIM\, \, Ogechi trained low-income and immigrant parents to advocate for equitable access to resources in schools so their children could thrive. Now an AIM board member\, she continues to help local communities give witness to the needs of their members. Ogechi also leads trainings on equity for parishes with Catholics United for Black Lives. After several incidents of national unrest\, Ogechi took inspiration from Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman\, FSPA\, and founded a small group for young adult women of color to discern their response as people of faith. Ogechi works as the Christian Service Coordinator at Connelly School of the Holy Child\, and serves as a catechist\, lector\, and pastoral council co-chair at St. Rose of Lima parish.
