Picture
President Daniel Ortega is not the resistance leader whom many embraced years ago. He has become an autocrat who violently represses any dissent with police, military and paramilitary force. Every international organization (UNHCR, Organization of American States, Amnesty International, and more) that has reviewed the situation on the ground has concluded that Ortega is guilty of massive human rights violations resulting in the death of innocent protesters.

Interfaith Toolkit for a Faithful Budget
Congress is preparing for critical budget decisions this winter; budget decisions that have to pass both the House and the Senate. Members of Congress need to hear from concerned constituents in order to stand strong against cuts to crucial programs.

This toolkit, developed by the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, will tell you the why and the how. (To learn more about our 2017 Faithful Budget, visit our Faithful Budget Page.)

    Paid Family & Medical Leave

    Paid family and medical leave would enable workers to earn time off to tend to a sick family member, take care of a new baby or newly adopted child or to take time to recuperate themselves.

    Do you have a story to tell supporting paid family and medical leave? Personal stories help explain this need to Members of Congress. Help us pass this bill into law.

Stop Human Trafficking

Interfaith Toolkit on Human Trafficking
The Washington Inter-Religious Staff Community, of which NAC is a member, has put together an Interfaith Toolkit on Human Trafficking to educate individuals and members of parishes and organizations and then to help them mobilize and put an end to human trafficking.

The toolkit contains basic information about trafficking, as well as specific information on the connection between consumerism and trafficking, which is the theme of the 2017 toolkit.

We encourage communities to focus on the way in which consumerism and lack of accountability in business supply chains result in millions of people being trafficked or enslaved. The toolkit also contains faith-based resources and contains ideas for local faith communities to take action against human trafficking.

We hope this toolkit will help local faith communities across the country raise awareness, promote dialogue, and take moral action against the scourge of modern-day slavery.

Paid Family & Medical Leave

You’ve been sick. Did you stay home?  Was your job at risk?  Who took care of your sick little kindergardener with fever?  You?  Was your job at risk?

Paid family and medical leave enables workers to earn time off to tend to a sick family member, take care of a new baby or newly adopted child or to take time to recuperate themselves.  We all need a fair shake.
