Other Ways You Can Take Action

As followers of Jesus, we want our brothers and sisters throughout the world to have access to the basic necessities to live in dignity. Recognizing the gift of God’s Spirit at work in the world, we must do our part, by putting our faith to work for effective measures to end the suffering and poverty of our sisters and brothers. As part of Catholics Confront Global Poverty, you can

Pray for people throughout the world seeking to rise from the indignities of poverty … for U.S. policies that can help make it happen…for all who stand in solidarity with the world’s poor.

Learn more about Catholic social teaching, U.S. economic policies, and the world’s poor.

Advocate by contacting your elected officials to make the case for trade, aid and debt policies that overcome poverty and promote development for impoverished people. Ask the question: How will the decisions of U.S. policymakers impact the poor, both in the United States and overseas?

Educate people in your parish and community about Catholic social teaching, U.S. economic policies, and the world’s poor.
