Advocate

The poor and vulnerable often have no voice except for yours when it comes to influencing public policies that impact their ability to find their way out of poverty. Add your voice to the local, state and federal policies that effect those in harm’s way

The Indiana Catholic Conference (ICC) is the official public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Indiana regarding state and national matters. 
The ICC also provides a source to which public inquiry can be made about the position of the Church on matters affecting the common good.

Catholic Charities USA: The "Attorney for the Poor"
Since 1910, Catholic Charities USA has served as a national advocate for the most vulnerable in our nation, including children, the elderly, the disabled, immigrants, and those who live in both rural and urban communities.

Our priorities are guided by the basic belief in the inherent dignity of the human person and the responsibility of society to ensure that dignity in all aspects of public policy.

It is our tradition and belief that our country, through its policies and federal budget, must demonstrate a priority for attending to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable persons in society.
