A group of people gather outside a government building with brightly colored signs that read "Hands off SNAP!", "Hunger Hurts," and "#HousingMatters." They stand behind a woman at a podium, with a sign "Care Not Cuts: We Need a Moral Budget." The woman at the podium is holding a mic and raising her fist.

Welcome Back, Congress is a webinar hosted by NETWORK taking place on Thursday, August 28, 2025

Watch the Welcome Back, Congress webinar

While Members of Congress spent the month of August in their districts, our advocates educated their communities about the harmful budget law passed by Congress in July. In this August webinar, NETWORK staff prepared justice-seekers for the return of the 119th Congress.  Watch the video and download the slides here!

The Republican budget bill passed. Now what?

NETWORK designed a zine to show you how the July 2025 Republican budget law hurts communities across our country. With this resource, you will bring a compelling tool to your advocacy efforts. If you believe that “a picture speaks louder than words,” this zine is for you! Print it out, make the folds, and share it in public places. See it, and other resources, on our post-budget vote ‘what’s next’ page!

In 1972, 47 Catholic Sisters gathered in Washington, D.C. and the spark that would become NETWORK was ignited. NETWORK is an inclusive, national, Catholic advocacy organization open to all who share our values, working to achieve equity and justice for everyone. NETWORK’s commitment to Gospel values and Catholic Social Justice principles is expressed on two websites. The first, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, is a 501(c)(4) non-profit whose work focuses on lobbying and grassroots advocacy for specific legislation and policies to advance the common good. The second, NETWORK Advocates for Catholic Social Justice, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to advocacy and voter education, including training, webinars, and other resources, on the policies that are central to our mission.
