Get W.I.T.H. It!

Please click to see the latest installment of the Human Trafficking Committee’s series on child labor, written by S. Ethel Howley, and remember to raise your voter voice to demand dignified and just treatment for migrant people seeking refuge in the United States.

Thousands of migrants are fleeing violence and persecution in Central America, as we continue to hear vitriolic rhetoric concerning these migrant human beings, we would like to highlight some resources for learning more about immigrants in the United States so that you are able to counter the rhetoric with knowledge.

As we work to provide members of our province on current events related to our four commitments, it is important to us to evaluate our efforts to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our Sisters and Associates.

Over the past few months, our office has been issuing social justice resources – “Just Act” reports and videos – on various topics related to our four commitments and other “hot-button” issues. These resources are intended for use in classroom settings and small group discussions, and we hope they will educate readers and facilitate engagement and advocacy. 

This week we explore the interconnection between each of our four commitments! This is especially important as we pray for those affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti and the earthquake/tsunami that devastated Indonesia.

These weeks Get W.I.T.H It! provides many current actions you can take to speak up in today's turbulent world.
