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.

On Tuesday, October 6, join us for an hour-long call about how to start a chapter! At this gathering, you’ll connect with other people around the country who are thinking about starting CTA chapters.

Mac will be working with CTA for the 2020-2021 school year as part of his M.Div. training at Loyola University Chicago. 

"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."

How did Vatican II shape individuals, Call To Action, and our Church as a whole? In a second phase of this project, we are publicly documenting memories of Vatican II through a series of posts on our website.

There is no single blueprint for a CTA chapter. We encourage people to start chapters to meet the needs of their own communities.

“Many shared that they were passing the baton to me and the other young adults. My response is that I am passing the baton back and that we need to share it; the work of justice requires all of us to be active in the now.”

As July turns to August, we’ve scheduled the next two months of our working group meetings.

We chose Advent as a time for coordinated action because of its symbolic resonance. Advent is the beginning of the Catholic year. It is the time of preparation for the birth of Christ, a time of gestation, anticipation, and longing.

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.  

Strategy working groups enter their second month in July.

We, the members of the Call to Action’s Vision Council, affirm the sacredness of our trans siblings and call our communities to take action against transphobia in all its forms.

Call To Action is thrilled to welcome Emma Calkins to the team as our summer Intern for Development and Chicago.

These monthly gatherings will offer space to think about how to use each strategy, workshop projects that you're working on in your local context, develop new projects with other people, and learn from expert Strategy Leaders.

Strategy Leaders are conveners, cultivators, weavers, and shapers of the 2020 National Campaign.

Zachary Johnson, 31, executive director of the nonprofit Call to Action, has been instrumental in this effort. For months, Johnson has been working with dozens of other volunteers from around the area to protect a homeless tent encampment from being brutalized by police officers attempting to limit its size.

White silence is violence. Today, we say “no more.”

CTA Chicago is organizing this virtual event as part of a forthcoming campaign for ordination justice.

We, as Catholics in the United States, call on others in Catholic leadership to disavow Dolan's unholy alliance with Trump, and to take further action to provide sanctuary.

Alternatives are central to the Catholic reform movement and we’ve decided to add them as a fourth strategy for our 2020 National Campaign.
