Summary / Overview
Every fall, the Social Justice Commission prepares the legislative ask for State and some Federal legislation for the following year. This is to be used on our New York State Ecumenical Advocacy Day (usually in late February or early March).
Summary / Overview
We offer an evaluative report of how we performed on the legislative ask, what state and federal legislation passed and were signed by the Governor and President respectively. We also identify legislation which is pending and what advocacy work remains to be done.
We are committed to shaping a criminal justice system rooted in the premise of repentance, forgiveness, and restoration, not revenge and punishment.
We are committed to policy solutions where we invest in our economy from the bottom up rather than the top down. We include Worker, Education, and Child Justice in our work.
We strive to advocate for law and policies which will preserve the earth for all future generations.
We commit ourselves to pass laws and garnering funds to build new affordable housing while offering supports to people to live in existing housing.
The United States is a nation of immigrants and that the strength of our society is rooted in welcoming immigrants.
We strongly advocate for every person to have the right to vote and to make the voting process as easy as possible.
