Rooted in our charism to proclaim the Gospel in solidarity with all persons — especially those living in poverty and oppression — we commit ourselves to ongoing prayer, study and action on behalf of human rights, justice and peace. We work for:
- Elimination of all weapons of mass destruction — nuclear, biological and chemical.
- Equality and justice for women and protection of children.
- Just and humane immigration policies.
- Ecological sustainability.
- Abolition of the death penalty.
- Resolution of conflict through diplomatic and peaceful negotiations.
Victory Noll Sisters join in an anti-nuclear protest at the Nevada test site.
Under each issue there are many concerns to be addressed, for example:
• Equality and justice for women and protection of children - trafficking and prostitution of women and children, domestic violence, equal pay for equal work, respect for life from conception to natural death, opportunity for education, etc.
• Just and humane immigration policies - human rights of refugees and immigrants, efforts for more just laws, illegal detention, etc.
• Ecological sustainability - global warming, pollution of land, air and water, cherishing the earth, etc.
We invite our Associates, families and friends to join us in these efforts in whatever way you are able. Let us work together for justice and for the coming of the Reign of God.
