Catholic Voice NC

Catholic Voice NC is a new statewide initiative that will give Catholics in North Carolina the opportunity to communicate with their state legislators on issues of importance. It will provide information to subscribers on legislative matters of interest to Catholics in light of Catholic teaching.

Among the legislative issues tracked are:

• Respect Life
• Stem Cell research
• End of life
• Immigration

People are invited to register for alerts, so that when an important issue arises you will receive an email inviting you to contact your legislators to express your views.

You can also find out Who are my Representatives?

You may also track legislative issues at a federal level though the Network, the national Catholic Social Justice Lobby.

Dear CVNC Participants,
 
An important piece of legislation regarding human trafficking is working its way through Congress and we need your help to secure its passage.

H.R. 2200, The Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2017, would reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000.
 
Supporting this bill demonstrates our nation's continued efforts to eradicate human trafficking and assist human trafficking victims. This bi-partisan bill ensures critical funding for both domestic and international anti-trafficking programs. Reauthorizing the TVPA allows programs and services that recognize the importance of dignified care for human trafficking victims.
 
As Catholics, we are called to protect the dignity of all human beings, especially the most vulnerable. The USCCB's Committee on Migration has issued a letter of support for H.R. 2200, but we need your help. Urge your U.S. Representative to pass H.R. 2200 to protect victims of human trafficking. Click on the link below to send your representative a message.

Yours in Christ

The Most Reverend Peter J. Jugis
Bishop of Charlotte


The Very Reverend Michael P. Shugrue
Administrator, Diocese of Raleigh
