National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd
|
|
The National Advocacy Center educates and develops strategies to address social justice issues and advocates for the transformation of society to the benefit of all people.
As Saint Mary Euphrasia declared, "One person is of more value than the world." |
|
NAC reflects the spirituality, history and mission of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd (better known as the Sisters of the Good Shepherd), working in solidarity with the disenfranchised - particularly families, women and children.
At the NAC, we amplify the Good Shepherd voice by linking the ministries and services of the Sisters, lay associates, and lay staff around the country to speak up and work for change in the structures of society. NAC organizes the Good Shepherd constituency to petition the United States Congress to act favorably on issues that impact those on the margin. |

Working to End Human Trafficking
NAC continues our partership with the Alliance to End Human Trafficking (AEHT) to prevent and end human trafficking, keeping the needs of those vulnerable to being trafficked and those who have survived at the forefront. In July 2026 we organized our 3rd annual Congressional Briefing at the US Capitol followed by walking the halls of Congress to meet with staffers urging passage of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025 (TVPRA) (H.R. 1144) and the Kids Online Safety Act (S. 1748).
|
NAC's Executive Director Fran Eskin-Royer and the Executive Director of AEHT Katie Boller Gosewisch appeared on EWTN's News Nightly to discuss the reason for the Congressional Briefing and the urgency of passing these two critical bills.
