Advocacy
Advocating on behalf of those who don’t have a voice is an important 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 the issues that affect the poor and vulnerable is a critical part to fulfilling our social duty to the least among us in our society. By using the Advocacy tool on the Catholic Conference’s website, you can reach out to legislators to advocate. Visit their website at http://www.nyscatholic.org/nys-catholic-conference-action-center or www.nyscatholic.org.
You can also visit the Diocese of Albany at www.rcda.org for a Catholic perspective on current legislative issues affecting New Yorkers.
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany is one of the largest, private, social service agencies in the region, helping more than 84,000 people each year in the fourteen counties of the Albany Diocese. Our motive is simple: to address basic human need at all stages of life regardless of race, religious belief, ethnicity, or lifestyle with special emphasis on the poor and vulnerable in our society.
