Advocating on behalf of those without a voice is a vital part of Catholic Charities' mission to help our neighbors in need. It's another way we try to put our Christian mission into action. Contacting your elected representatives on issues that affect the poor and vulnerable is a crucial part of fulfilling our social duties to those among us in our society who are unable to do so. By using the Advocacy tool on the Catholic Conference's website, you can reach out to our legislators to advocate. Visit the NYS Catholic Conferences Action Center website.

You can also visit the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany website for a Catholic perspective on current legislative issues affecting New Yorkers.
