We are called to participate in politics to promote the common good. What does it look like to vote for the common good? This conversation helps us understand how important it is to use our vote to make lives better in our communities.
Our Presenters
NETWORK’s Grassroots Mobilization team visually displays how walls are built by some politicians and corporations to divide us. The walls of division, held firm with racism, sexism, misinformation, etc., make our communities unsafe and let those who divide us rig the economy and politics for their benefit.
Our speakers explain how when we vote for the common good we can help knock down walls of division. And, when we rely on Pope Francis’ teachings, lessons learned from lived experiences–ours and those of others, our shared values, and respect for all of the issues (not one single issue, like abortion or climate change) that respect life, we can help all in our beloved community thrive.
Speakers:
- Mary J. Novak, Executive Director, NETWORK
- Bishop John Stowe, O.F.M. Conv., Diocese of Lexington, KY
- Jeanné Lewis, Interim CEO, Faith in Public Life
- Ivonne Ramirez, Immigration Advocate, Social Poet Award Winner
