OPPOSE BILL AUTHORIZING FUNDING FREEZES FOR PRO-IMMIGRANT CITIES AND STATES: Letter opposing H.R.32, the "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act" that would allow the Trump administration to block education, transportation, housing, food aid, public health, crime prevention and many other forms of federal funding for jurisdictions that don't cooperate with ICE requests.
INTERIM FINAL RULE (IFR) ON ALIEN REGISTRATION AND EVIDENCE OF REGISTRATION: Letter opposing the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) Interim Final Rule on Alien Registration (DHS Docket No. USCIS-2025-0004). This harmful rule revives an outdated and dangerous registration requirement for undocumented immigrants, exposing them to detention, deportation, and even criminal prosecution. The letter makes clear the collective demand of Advocacy Groups to demand that the administration rescind this rule immediately.
This rule is part of a long history of anti-immigrant policies that have targeted and terrorized immigrant communities under the guise of registration
EXTENSION AND REDESIGNATION OF TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS (TPS) FOR MYANMAR: Letter calling for an extension and redesignation of TPS for Myanmar. It respectfully urges the Administration to extend and redesignate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burma. It calls on Secretary Noem to (1) provide an 18-month extension for current TPS holders from Burma, (2) expand the protections to more recently arrived Burmese individuals present in the United States by redesignating Burma for TPS, (3) provide a 180-day registration period for beneficiaries under the redesignation and the current designations extension, and (4) publish a timely notice in the Federal Register to avoid employment disruptions and other hardships that may result from any delays.
CHILDREN'S COURT Bill: Endorsed Immigration Court Efficiency & Childrens Court Act that will be re-introduced in the 119th Congress.
SOLIDARITY STATEMENT: ON LATEST ENTRY BAN: Expressing Opposition to the Racist Entry Ban from Trump Administration, and Support for Targeted Communities (June 5, 2025). Myanmar and Venezuela were included.
NAC signed on after the Unit Leaders of those countries gave their approval for going forward. Both felt that it could only help not harm their sisters and partners. The Statement was shared by the organization SolidarityIs and promoted by the Interfaith Immigration Coalition of the Washington Interfaith Staff Community.

SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) LANGUAGE ACCESS in FY 26: Letter to relevant Appropriations Subcommittees, and related Agencies to include report language in the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) appropriations bill to improve language accessibility for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
SNAP provides essential nutritional support for millions of low-income families, yet too many applicants and participants face barriers in accessing the program because English is not their first language. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 25 million individuals in the United States - over 8 percent of the population - have LEP.
FULL FUNDING FOR SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PRGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC): Letter asking Congress to fully fund WIC, providing the resources to ensure that every eligible family who seeks WIC services can receive them. There has been a bipartisan commitment to fully fund WIC, avoiding waiting lists, for nearly 30 years. This includes the anomaly request from the Trump Administration for FY25.
MEDICAID CUTS IMPACT ON DISABLED: Letter to the Energy and Commerce, and Finance Committees expressing how Medicaid cuts in the proposed reconciliation budget would impact the disabled community, and the faith-based organizations and service providers that support them.
RECISSION OF FOREIGN ASSISTANCE: Sent letter responding to the reported $9+ billion rescissions package from the White House targeting previously appropriated funds for foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The letter urges all members of Congress to reject any rescission of foreign assistance funding, emphasizing Congressional authority and American values rather than specific programs.
COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION INITIATIVE (CVI): Letter requesting that Congress fund the CVI program at $200 million in the FY 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. It also says the signers decry the recent harmful cuts to CVI funds at the Office of Justice Programs; this will result in more violent crimes and lower services in communities and some police departments.
PROTECT CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENTS: Letter urging Congress to protect clean energy investments from repeal in the upcoming reconciliation bill. Specifically, it asked Members to oppose efforts to repeal these clean energy provisions and the direct pay incentives that are so essential to our houses of worship nationwide. Letter expressed signers willingness to work with Congress to ensure our nation continues moving toward a more just, sustainable, and economically sound energy future. It asked Congress to meet growing energy needs, and to grow our economy without placing an undue financial burden on families and businesses, we must make use of every affordable energy source available - including the cost-effective renewable energy sources supported by these tax credits, especially IRC 48E, 45Y, 45X, 25D, & 25C.
NO CUTS TO SNAP AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS: NAC sent alert to network inviting advocates to urge Congress to preserve these critical programs in the budget process.
CUTS TO MEDICAID, SNAP, TANF and SOCIAL SERVICE BLOCK GRANTS: Letter urging Members of Congress to protect investments for children and reject damaging cuts and structural changes being proposed for Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) programs in the reconciliation process.
PROTECT CHILD CARE SYSTEM: Letter urging Congress to protect our childcare system by opposing cuts to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Social Service Block Grants (SSBG) as it considers budget reconciliation.
RECONCILIATION BILL: Letter calling out the House reconciliation bills immigration-related provisions and impact. While adding trillions to our national debt, this bill will strip health care coverage for millions of families. It will plunge our communities into deeper food insecurity and deepen the poverty chasm for nearly 4.5 million children of immigrants, all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations and unprecedented, unaccountable funds for mass deportation.
This bill will trample our constitutional rights and fuel this administrations use of immigration enforcement to subvert due process and terrorize communities. By allocating over $150 billion (with few to no strings attached) to jail families, abduct and disappear new neighbors and long-standing members of our communities, and enrich private prison corporations, this bill threatens our identity as a nation and the rule of law. We would not be able to reverse the inevitable harms to children, people in need of humanitarian protection, and families facing forced and indefinite separations. These outcomes would also pervert the purpose of the budget reconciliation process and advance a policy agenda that endangers us all.
RESTORE COMMUNITY BASED VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION INITIATIVE (CVIPI) AWARDS: The Department of Justice (DOJ) abruptly terminated many CVIPI awards. This letter urges leaders on the Appropriations Committees to support the restoration of CVIPI awards AND provide $100 million for the program in FY26.
CONTACT YOUR CONGRESS PERSONS TO PREVENT CUTS TO MEDICAID: NAC sent alert to advocates inviting them to contact MOCs and urge them to prevent Medicaid cuts. Medicaid is a cornerstone to health and well-being in every community in the U.S. It serves almost 80 million people including children, seniors, people living with disabilities and families. Medicaid ensures healthcare is available to all of us when we need it most. It protects the dignity of persons at every stage of life, from young children to older adults. The cost of ignoring needs today will rob our children of their futures and fall on the shoulders of taxpayers tomorrow.
CONTACT YOUR CONGRESS PERSONS TO PREVENT CUTS TO COMMUNITY- BASED VIOLENCE INTERVENTION (CVI) AND PREVENTION: NAC sent alert to advocates inviting them to contact MOCs and urge them to speak out for the restoration of funding for critical, evidence-based programs CVI programs. Community Violence Intervention is associated with substantial reductions in homicides - with many cities seeing historic drops.
CONTACT CONGRESS TO URGE THE ADMINISTRATION TO RESTART CRITICAL INTERNATIONAL FOOD AID: NAC constituents were asked to urge their members of Congress to call on the administration to reinstate critical food aid for nearly 800,000 at-risk children in 11 countries (Dole-McGovern Food Programs). The administration has terminated all but two of Catholic Relief Services McGovern-Dole Food for Education school feeding programs-cutting off daily meals for these children starting in July. For many of these kids, this is their only meal of the day.
BLAST TO CONGRESS TO PROTECT LOW INCOME HEALTHCARE AND FOOD INSECURITY IN RECONCILIATION BILL: Called on Senate to protect Medicaid and SNAP in upcoming Reconciliation Bill, expressing great concern about the House Reconciliation Bill that was passed, and urging the Senate to make drastic changes to the bill to better protect children and others vulnerable to losing food assistance and health coverage as a result of the bill - all to fund tax cuts for the rich.
PUBLIC QUOTE ON REC BILL AND IMMIGRANTS and OTHER VULNERABLT POPULATIONS: Fran Eskin-Royer, Executive Director of the National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, said: The National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd calls on the U.S. Senate to overhaul this misguided budget reconciliation bill. Senators should lead by redirecting copious amounts of money from detention and deportation operations to children who are food insecure. Senators should focus on women and vulnerable populations who are falling through Americas tattered safety nets. Senators should support struggling families who cant afford quality health care. This is the calling and purpose of Congress.
PUBLIC QUOTE ON HOUSE REC BILL AND SNAP & MEDICAID: The Sisters of the Good Shepherd and their lay partners-in-mission have long acted as a voice for the children and their families, especially those in vulnerable situations or living on the margins. This work is not just ours. It is the purpose of Congress and our federal government. They must consider the basic needs of those they represent and serve. As they work on the federal budget, our Members of Congress must not cut SNAP or Medicaid. Millions of children have food insecurity and rely on our governments SNAP benefits. Millions of Americans receive care and security through our Medicaid program. We pray for our Members, and we urge them to make the right decision to put women and children and those in need first.
REMITTANCE TAX OF 3.5%: Letter expressing opposition to the proposed 3.5% tax on remittances that is included in the House's budget reconciliation bill. Already passed in the House, it has gone to the Senate.
This tax is not only an attack on immigrants; it is an unjust punishment on our families and local communities in their countries of origin. Remittances are the best and only resources currently available to help alleviate some of the root causes of forced migration. This tax would impose barriers that would exacerbate these conditions.
MEDICAID CUTS: Following the release of the Senate Finance Committees portion of the reconciliation bill that makes even deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House to fund trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations, the letter wants to continue to demonstrate the need to prioritize transformative investments across aging and disability care, paid family and medical leave, and child care and early learning.
UNACCOMPANIED MINORS: Letter opposing the reconciliation bill's provisions related to unaccompanied children.
The House has advanced a reconciliation bill that will cause incredible harm to unaccompanied children and their families. The bill would prevent children from reuniting with their loved ones, and it would contravene the safeguards enshrined in the bipartisan Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2008 with devastating consequences for these vulnerable children. As organizations dedicated to protecting the wellbeing of all children, we urge the Senate to reject the provisions of the reconciliation bill passed by the House that would dismantle the protection system for unaccompanied immigrant children.
SNAP, MEDICARE, AND ACA PREMIUMS CUT OFFS: Letter strongly opposes the provisions in the reconciliation bill that would cut off refugees, asylees, and other humanitarian arrivals from SNAP, Medicare, and certain ACA premiums.
BUDGET CUTS TO REFUGEE PROGRAMS: Letter urging Congress to defeat rescission requests and budget cuts for refugee programs. The proposals directly threaten the integrity of U.S. refugee and humanitarian assistance programs and the well-being of forcibly displaced people, asylum seekers, and immigrant communities.
NO TO HARMFUL BUDGET REC: NAC constituents were invited to urge their Senators to vote NO on the harmful Budget Reconciliation Bill that is to be voted on soon.
The budget reconciliation bill robs millions of individuals and families of their basic needs to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. This bill contains unconscionable CUTS to basic needs programs and services such as MEDICAID, which serves almost 80 million people including children, seniors, people living with disabilities and families, and SNAP, a lifeline of
nutrition for over 41 million people including 1 in 5 children.
It also increases environmental degradation through CUTS to clean energy investments and jobs, and threatens immigrant community protections and services by exploding funding for detentions and deportations, adding huge fees for legal immigration processes, and eliminating basic needs programs for legally present individuals and families.

UKRAINE PEACE PROCESS: Letter urging support for an inclusive peace process in Ukraine. It calls on Congress to back inclusive diplomacy that centers the rights and needs of civilians affected by the conflict and to hold the administration accountable for achieving a just and lasting peace.

R-1 VISAS FOR RELIGIOUS WORKERS: Letter expressing support for the bipartisan Religious Workforce Protection Act (RWPA) (S. 1298/H.R. 2672). Millions of Americans across our country rely on the essential contributions of foreign-born religious workers. Unless Congress acts, communities will increasingly be forced to part with the men and women who have faithfully served them for years, and religious exercise will be hindered in their absence.

TAXPAYER PRIVACY: The Treasury Department reached a Memo of Understanding with the Department of Homeland Security related to receiving sensitive and confidential taxpayer information for people using ITINs (an alternative number to a Social Security number). In response, NAC was part of a letter urging Members of Congress to take action in support of these taxpayers. The data DHS will receive from Treasury will include names (including family names), phone numbers, emails, and other pertinent tax data. Treasury does NOT have legal authority to share this confidential information.
SAFEGUARD AMERICAN VOTER ELIGIBILITY ACT (SAVE ACT) NAC sent alert to network inviting advocates to

AUTISM DATA COLLECTION CONCERNS: Letter raising concerns about NIH, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and HHS plans around autism data collection, calling for trust and collaboration, and ensuring privacy protections.
2026 CENSUS: Letter urging key members of Congress to take immediate action to safeguard the critical 2026 Census Field Test. This test is essential for the Census Bureau to develop and evaluate new methods, modernize data systems, and conduct targeted outreach-particularly to historically undercounted communities. Without it, the Bureau risks entering the 2030 Census cycle without the tools, testing, or operational readiness needed to ensure a fair and accurate count.
ANTI-SEMITISM - A STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY AND CONDEMNATION: The National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd unites with people of good will in profound concern and denunciation of the alarming rise in anti-Semitism and recent violent attacks targeting Jewish individuals and communities within the United States.

RESTORE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS HUNGER IN THE USA: Was part of an interfaith letter expressing deep dismay over the United States Department of Agricultures (USDA) decisions to cut critical nutrition programs that distribute food from American farmers to hungry families across the country; the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and farm-to-school programs like the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA) and the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program (LFS) have been terminated. Signers urged USDA to reverse these actions immediately.
ENDORSEMENT OF THE CHILD CARE NUTRITION ENHANCEMENT ACT AND THE EARLYCHILDHOOD NUTRITION IMPROVEMENT ACT: NAC endorsed both these bills. Representative Bonamici (D-OR) and Representative Mackenzie (R-PA) are working together on the bipartisan introduction of the Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act. Representative Landsman (D-OH) will introduce the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act in the House, and Senator Blumenthal (D-CT) will lead both bills in the Senate. The bills support meals and snacks in childcare and Head Start.
ENDORSE THE SNAP ADMINISTRATOR RETENTION ACT: Organizational endorsement of The SNAP Administrator Retention Act that will help restore SNAPs workforce to full strength and stop dangerous privatization schemes, so that hungry families can get help when they need it. Specifically, the bill would provide significant additional funds beyond the current match, while requiring maintenance of effort, to invest in hiring, training and retaining the merit staff who carry out the SNAP program and align the wages of SNAP administrators with the federal wage standards.

CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB) ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY: Sign-on opposing H.R. 1653, bill that weakens CFPB Enforcement Authority. Rep. Andy Barr (R KY-06) has led another bad bill aimed at changing the way the CFPB functions. But this time, it's a bi-partisan bill. Rep. Gonzalez (D TX-24) and Rep. Moskowitz (D FL 23) have also co-sponsored the bill. This BAD bill gives lawbreakers tools to delay enforcement when they break the law and makes it harder for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to investigate and bring enforcement actions returning money to consumers when Big Banks, Big Tech, credit bureaus, debt collectors, predatory lenders and others engage in wrongdoing and hurt people.
SUPPORT FOR CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU'S (CFPB): Senator Tim Scott has proposed zeroing out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) independent and constitutional funding stream. This is an existential threat to the future of a robust CFPB that can protect people from scams, rip-offs, and discrimination from big banks, Big Tech, and fringe financial firms. This letter describes the important mission of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's CFPB and how the CFPB helps protect people from predatory lenders, lending discrimination, abusive debt collectors, unfair credit reporting, and so much more.

CHILD LABOR - CALL TO RESTORE ILAB PROGRAMS: The Department of Labor has cut funding for its Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) programs, ending 69 grants worth more than $500 million. These funds supported important programs to combat child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. There is $237 million remaining in unspent funds, but all of these grants have been canceled. These cuts have dealt a huge blow to our collective efforts to tackle forced and child labor around the globe. Organizations facing these cuts, partner non-profit organizations, civil society coalitions, labor experts, members of Congress, labor unions, and industry associations have already issued separate statements urging that these funds be restored immediately. NAC signed a coalition statement protesting these cuts and urging restoration of the funding.

Letter in support of a bipartisan bill in support of federal workforce.
