The Advocate's Toolbox will show you how to promote justice and the common good. It'll teach you how to leverage your influence as a constituent.
We believe that policies and decisions should be informed by the experiences of the people most impacted by those policies and decisions. We advocate for peace and justice, and are guided by the Gospels, Catholic Social Teaching, and the experience of Columban missionaries and the communities they serve.
