***July 11-13, 2008: Convention for the Common Good***

The Convention for the Common Good

Convened by Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel

Come help chart a new vision for our country, one that is not based on narrow partisan agendas but a concern for the common good.

Come help build a platform that addresses many of the pressing social justice issues of the day – health care, poverty, economic justice, immigration, global warming and promoting a culture of life.

Come hear religious leaders, elected officials, and representatives of the social justice community discuss their vision of the common good.

Come help shape a Platform for the Common Good that will be presented to both political parties asking them to make sure our government reflects a commitment to the common good, not simply the interests of a privileged few.

Join representatives of faith communities, social justice advocates and others as we launch a Campaign for the Common Good.
