This past Saturday, the world lost a precious Christian leader who spent a lifetime pushing the boundaries of solidarity and advocacy as he nurtured Beloved Community with a pastor's heart.

Fr Joe Nangle was one of the last of an era of bold social justice priests.

We tried to deliver a letter from 100s of constituents (30 orgs, 40+ clergy/faith leaders & 500+ individuals) to @SenBooker's Newark office, but no one would pick up the phone or come down. Take action now to support the JRDs and #StopArmingIsraelNOW https://t.co/Th0pIIVcJ1

29 countries are gathering for #RIMPAC around #Hawaii.
We are alarmed by the funding for these exercises, which could support peace initiatives, and by Israel’s participation.

❗️We urge the other 28 nations to reconsider.

290 #RedBalloons, one for each day #Gaza's civilians have suffered, appeared in Brussels this morning as the @EUCouncil #FAC began.
EU inaction has prolonged this crisis for far too long. The #EUCouncil must act now to protect civilians and strive for lasting peace. #CeasefireNOW

“Our faith-filled work for peace … is best done together; it is strengthened in community,” said Johnny Zokovitch. “To have USCCB gut its work for social justice is a tragedy, and will affect our partners not only in this country but around the world.” https://t.co/bckeuVfhN4

"The principles of Catholic social teaching allow us to look at the situation in Israel-Palestine through the lens of our faith, and help us work toward a future in the Holy Land marked by justice and peace for all."
