Dr. King who said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” This digital newsletter from the CSA Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation office showcases the work of changemakers, opportunities to learn, and opportunities for you to help “bend the arc” toward justice.

Catholic Sisters are Multi-Issue Voters
On October 18, NETWORK made its last stop in San Francisco to conclude their 3-week “Vote Our Future” tour. With stops in both Gary, IN and Milwaukee, WI on October 8 and a stop in Chicago on October 9, CSA Sisters and friends joined others from across the country in rallies, site visits, and town halls to emphasize Pope Francis’ message: “The only future worth building includes everyone.”
Pope Francis also makes it clear: Catholics and all people of good will are called to be multi-issue voters, not single-issue voters, in the 2024 elections and in our continued participation in public life. CSA supports these sediments and supports the use of this “Equally Sacred Voter Checklist” as a resource to support others in education themselves as faithful voters on the issues and concerns that are equally sacred - the freedom to be healthy, freedom to live on a healthy planet, freedom to participate in a vibrant democracy, freedom to care for ourselves and our families, freedom from harm, and freedom to live in a welcoming country that values dignity and human rights.
