Act: Sign up for action alerts from the USCCB at https://lnkd.in/g7u7Tn5V so you can join the Committee’s efforts to encourage Congressional action responding to the EEOC’s PWFA regulations. Meanwhile, religious employers should honor the pro-woman, pro-life intent of the law Congress passed, and grant pregnant employees reasonable accommodations that allow them to have healthy pregnancies. It will make for a stronger case in the event an employee asks for leave to get an abortion. It is also the right thing to do. #ohiocatholics #religiousfreedom #usccb #actionalert #prowoman #prolife

Act: Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) was founded by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as an instrument of love and a sign of hope for those in need scattered throughout the historic but unstable lands of the ancient Eastern churches—the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe. Connect with CNEWA at cnewa.org #ohiocatholics #religiousfreedom #usccb #cnewa #prayforindia

The CCO supported, House Bill 50, was signed into law this past Friday.

Act: Catholic social teaching recognizes a country’s right and responsibility to manage its borders in accordance with the common good, and the U.S. bishops have been vocal proponents of immigration reform for many years. However, bills recently put forth in Congress, such as the USCCB-opposed Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2), which targets organizations serving newcomers, underscore both the partisan nature of the immigration debate and the potential for religious groups to be scapegoated for the consequences of public officials failing to achieve just, bipartisan solutions on immigration. Some lawmakers are demanding that H.R. 2 be enacted as a condition for passing bills that fund the federal government. Take action today to encourage Congress to work toward bipartisan immigration reform that furthers the common good, upholds religious freedom, and respects the God-given dignity of all: https://lnkd.in/dprbH-tq #ohiocatholics #catholicsocialteaching #immigration #commongood #takeaction
