About Us
Founded by Catholic Sisters in the progressive spirit of Vatican
II, NETWORK works to create a society that promotes justice and the dignity of
all in the shared abundance of God’s creation.
We faithfully embody Gospel justice as we ignite hope in the world. We
are rooted in Catholic Social Justice and are open to all who share our
passion.
We proclaim the following:
- We value women’s leadership.
- We accept and appreciate people
from religious as well as secular backgrounds.
- We welcome and affirm members
of the LGBTQ+ community.
- We engage in the ongoing work
to become a multicultural anti-racist organization.
Mission
NETWORK, a Catholic leader in the global movement for justice
and peace, educates, organizes and lobbies for economic and social
transformation.
What We Do
Believing in the power of community, our Spirit-filled network
of justice-seekers shapes federal policies to be consistent with the values we
hold:
A just society includes all and values people
over the accumulation of profits.
- We work to change structures
that cause poverty and inequality, placing the needs of people at the
economic margins and excluded at the center of our advocacy.
- We work for a federal budget
that benefits everyone and a just tax system that ensures that all pay
their fair share.
- We work to ensure inclusion of
everyone in our economy and democracy.
A just society ensures that all people – the
100% – have what they need to live dignified lives.
- We work for justly compensated
jobs and quality healthcare for all.
- We work to protect the rights
of immigrants and all who struggle at the margins.
- We work for affordable housing,
food assistance and safety-net programs for all who need them.
A just society recognizes that we live in an
interconnected world.
- We work for nonviolent
solutions to conflict.
- We work to alleviate unequal
burdens created by climate change.
- We work for trade policies that
are rooted in justice and that protect all.
