As we enter the third week of Lent, NETWORK reflects on the sacred call for us to show Care for Our Common Home with a reflection from Drake P. Starling:”…the Book of Genesis names our dependence on the Earth and on one another. This is called creation. But even during this 40-day journey of repentance and renewal, powerful interests in Washington are advancing a different vision – one that treats the Earth not as sacred gift, but as disposable commodity.” He also shares what you can say during your calls to the Senate for environmental justice.

Call your Senators!
While Christians begin 40-days of repentance and renewal with a smudge of ashes, congressional Republicans are advancing bills that are harmful for voters. Two bills, the Senate’s SAVE America Act (S.3752) and the House’s Make Election Great Again (MEGA) Act (H.R.7300), are similar to the stalled SAVE Act (H.R.22) and its “show your papers” authoritarian mandate. Read more in Christian Watkins’s Lenten reflection.
These bills are harmful to eligible voters, threaten to eliminate online and mail-in registration, and sabotage voter registration drives. Call your Senators at (202) 915-4877 and tell them, “These bills must not pass!”
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. For important educational resources, please go to Network Advocates.
