🎙️Season 6 Episode 7: Who are the heroes of Catholic Social Justice? In today’s economy, a dignified job isn’t just a paycheck – it’s how people provide for their families and build strong communities. From caretakers to farmworkers to warehouse workers and immigrant workers – each sector has leaders who together are on the front lines of the movement for labor rights. This week Sr. Eilis McCulloh is joined by two of these powerful voices at the intersection of faith, labor, and immigrant justice: 🔹 David Carpio, Deputy Political Director at @AFLCIO, the largest labor federation in the U.S. 🔹 Rogelio Lagunas, Escucha Mi Voz Iowa board member, factory worker, immigrant, and parishioner at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids, IA. 🎧 Tune in

Grateful to @sistersreport for sharing the news about “See. Love. Vote.”! 🙏 Read how sisters and partners are turning faith into action this election season.
