Quick Facts about the Catholic Advocacy Network
The Catholic Advocacy Network (CAN) is a grassroots network of concerned Catholics who want to make a difference in the political arena. The Network sends e-mail alerts on breaking legislative developments, offers pre-written messages to your elected representatives, and enables you to send the messages with just a few clicks of your computer mouse. You can let your voice be heard from the comfort of your own home, and it literally takes only a minute.
Does advocacy work? You bet it does. The Catholic Advocacy Network has helped to secure state aid for private, religious and independent schools, assisted in defeating the death penalty, and helped prevent serious cutbacks to programs serving the poor. The Network has sent over 75,000 messages to legislators this year alone, and legislators have responded.
The potential of this Network is enormous: there are 7.5 million Catholics in New York State! In numbers, there is strength. At this point, the Network has over 50,000 members. With even more members, our ability to affect the laws of our state will only grow.
There is no cost to join the Network and the NYS Catholic Conference will not offer or sell your name to any other lists. It requires very little commitment of time, and offers free benefits to you and to the common good of our society.
Together, Catholics CAN be a powerful voice in the halls of state government. Together, we CAN build the City of God. Together, we CAN make a difference!
