“ECONOMIC JUSTICE Cont. from p. 2 - In the Fall of 2021, the Catholic Ethical Purchasing Alliance CEPA developed from an ongoing partnership between the ISN and Ethix Merch, an ethical promotional products supplier. The partnership serves a particular purpose - to support Catholic institutions and individuals integrating the values of Catholic Social Teaching with their purchasing practices. In March of 2022, students from two Jesuit universities - John Carroll University and Fordham University - participated in the first CEPA immersion experiences to visit partners in North Carolina. Students visited textile manufacturers to learn about ethical and sustainable production centered around a triple bottom line of people, planet and profit. Also in the spring of 2022, the University of Dayton became the first Catholic University in the US to bring CEPA producgts into its campus bookstore. Our job as a central procurement organization is to understand the requirements on campus and give people the tools to make good purchasing choices when it comes to each sourcing decision, shared Sara Harrison, Executive DIrector for procurement and payable services for UD. The partnership with CEPA is just a beginning...it is clear that there is a lot of potential. CONSISTENT ETHIC OF LIFE - In January, ISN joined the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States in hosting Ignatian Family Mass for Life in Washington DC. The mass welcomed over 350 students, faculty, staff, and parishioners to Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Church for prayer and reflection before the school and parish delegations took part in the annual March for Life through the streets of Washington DC.”

“Continued from Above MIGRATION JUSTICE - ISN continued to build its network of immigration advocates, addressing issues including the right to seek asylum, border policy, and support for DACA recipients and undocumented members of the Ignatian family. In February 2022, 18 college students gathered at the Jesuit Retreat Center of Los Altos in California for ISNs first Undocumented Network Summit. Each of the attendees gathered had an immigration story - identifying as undocumented, a DACA Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or Temporary Protected Status TPS recipient, or a member of a mixed status family. The gathering was designed to provide attendees - all students at Catholic colleges and universities - with a safe place to build community, share concerns, seek advice, and grow their campus organizing skills. RACIAL JUSTICE - Just Conversations with Jamal and Nate - ISNs podcast exploring the intersections of race, faith, and Catholic education - highlights historical and current events in the realm of diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism. Episode topics have included the hope and challenges of DEI work, response to racially-motivated violence, African American creativity and poetry, and more. ISN hosted a series of virtual programs for lay and ordained leaders from churches across the US to explore ways to bring racial justice work to life in parishes through reflection, conversation, prayer, and action. Nearly 500 people representing more than 150 parishes, religious orders, and community groups joined four events in FY 2021-2022.”

“Continued from Above - ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE - The Ignatian network continued to respond to Pope Francis call to care for creation, specifically through four unique ISN campaigns. Through weekly challenges and reflections, Laudato Si Lent was designed to draw participants more deeply into implementing the Laudato Si Action Platform. Using an interactive online Advent calendar, the Advent Simplicity Challenge, in a season focused on gifts and consumption, explored ways to live simply while preparing hopefully for the coming of Jesus and the restoration of the Earth. Renewing the Earth Living Laudato Si in the Year of Ignatius honored the 500th anniversary of the conversion of St. Ignatius by inviting the Ignatian family to learn, pray, act and connect for ecological justice.”
