Public policies regarding issues such as global hunger, conflict and peace, global health, migration, and global poverty all make an enormous impact on the lives of people living in poverty around the globe.
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) complements its humanitarian and development work and experience with policy analysis and advocacy to address root causes of poverty, conflict and marginalization. CRS examines the issues that are dramatically impacting the safety and well-being of poor and vulnerable people worldwide based on the principles of Catholic social teaching, primary among them the protection of the dignity of the human person.
CRS works in partnership with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other Catholic organizations to develop public policy positions and advocates in support of these positions with U.S. and international decision-makers.
CRS encourages Catholics in the United States to advocate with us so that together we can help bring about policies and practices that benefit our brothers and sisters worldwide. CRS offers educational resources, promotes national campaigns and provides trainings, speakers and advocacy opportunities to help you and your community get involved.
