Black History Month 2021
Welcome to Black History Month. To celebrate this year, Call To Action invites you to follow two anti-racist programs this month.
NCR: Call To Action's scorecards rate US bishops on anti-racism work
Despite global uprisings against police brutality and systemic racism, many U.S. bishops and cardinals have not spoken publicly about these issues, while others have yet to turn talk into action, according to the Catholic social justice organization Call To Action.
Archbishop, editor: Angelus News minimizes systemic racism
With your leadership, may the Angelus come to exemplify a media platform for balanced reporting of contemporary issues and voices by authors and media sources with foundational journalistic credentials.
To dismantle racism, Catholics must hold our bishops (and ourselves) accountable
For the past few months Call To Action’s Lobbying Team has been working on an initiative to build relationships in the work for racial justice, increasing accountability and transparency in the relationship between bishops and the laity.
Bishops: Relevant Radio is not faithful to Church teaching
Using your leadership position at Relevant Radio, may you encourage their programming to portray the Catholic Church as a voice for unity, with sincere, open dialogue and action on critical issues in our nation and world.
Church & Colonization Series
Using the themes of Advent (faith, hope, joy, and love), Re/Generation participants and leaders reflect on aspects of how colonization in the United States has been intertwined with Christianity, and the Catholic Church in particular.
Get involved: CTA and anti-racism
All of these projects are in their early stages, and we need you to help bring them to fruition. Wherever you are in the country, there are ways for you to support Black, Indigenous, and anti-racist Catholic organizing.
NCR: Call to Action places emphasis on anti-racism work, action
"I want to tell you I think CTA is a gem in the Catholic Church," Brittenum said. "We're addressing racism — not as best we can — but we're working on it. That's all you're ever going to be able to say you're doing."
Anti-Racism: CTA’s Commitment and Legacy
We are living through a radical reclamation of the story of the United States, and I believe that Call To Action must play a role.
