Please continue to speak out for justice!
We are deeply grateful for all the prayers and support we have received as we continue our travels. We ask that you turn that support into action. Please tell Congress that a moral budget serves all, not just the wealthy. That is called economic justice, and it is the right thing to do. It also represents true American values.
We are also very grateful for these messages from Members of Congress [3]!

Background Information on Nuns on the Bus
NETWORK's first Nuns on the Bus tour first traveled in the summer of 2012 through nine states to highlight the work of Catholic Sisters, meet the people they serve, and learn about the harm that would be caused by federal budget cuts. Since that initial tour, there have been many others, visiting states from Colorado to New York - and even including a "Nuns on the Ferry" trip on the Staten Island Ferry.
Along the way, we have spoken out for economic justice and healthcare (Medicaid expansion), and we are now beginning a new journey in support of immigration reform.
