Lent begins with ashes, courage, and action. This Ash Wednesday as we pray for conversion: of ourselves, our churches, and our nation toward justice, nonviolence, and love.

This Lent we lift up “Crosses of Resistance” to attacks on voting rights, climate, immigration, and access to food & health care.

We mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson today. May we honor his legacy by continuing the work he championed on behalf of all, full of love and justice.

Love is not passive, it is an action. This Valentine’s Day, we call for all our immigrant communities to be treated with dignity, compassion, and an end dehumanization.

We are more than just numbers--we are neighbors, friends, & so much more. People of faith are united in the call for policies rooted in compassion, accountability, & the common good. What has happened on the ground in MN is completely unjust. No DHS funding without significant reforms to ICE & CBP.

Yesterday NETWORK delivered a letter signed by over 1,800 Catholic leaders, including many Sisters and 19 Bishops, telling Congress there should be no blank check for ICE & CBP without reforms that protect families and ensure communities’ safety! Take action TODAY!

This Valentine’s Day, we are sending love to all our immigrant communities facing a current environment of persecution--yet still showing strength, care, and leadership every day. #ToImmigrantsWithLove

As Congress and the White House finalize the DHS budget, they’re pushing more money to ICE and CBP. We say no. Not one more dollar without real accountability and an end to harmful practices.

Hundreds of clergy descend on Minneapolis and go on lookout for ICE MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — The faith leaders, who hail from across the country and represent a range of religious traditions, deployed to neighborhoods with significant immigrant populations, where DHS agent...

“The clergy, who hail from a range of traditions and worship communities across the country, sang on the buses as they ventured out into the street.”

This is absolutely amazing and inspiring and oh it is -10 degrees (that’s right negative) in Minneapolis today.

NETWORK sends you all hope and resolve on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Congress is debating additional funding for ICE. This would enable ICE to continue inhumane practices against immigrant communities. We must act now! Email your representatives and urge them to protect our neighbors. 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/appr...
