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.

Call Congress to protect sensitive locations. Ask your Members to co-sponsor the Protect Sensitive Locations Act!

Call Members of Congress

Call (202) 953-6731 to reach your elected officials. The Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R.1061/S.455), legislation coming out of the Senate and the House, aims to strengthen restrictions on immigration enforcement at designated sensitive locations—such as houses of worship, schools, and medical facilities. If passed, the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act will provide our communities with critical safeguards that they have been without since the Trump administration gutted longstanding guidance for immigration enforcement agents in January 2025.

Lent 2026 Crosses of Resistance with NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice. Call the Senate to protect voting rights

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 1971, 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.
