Catholics in Alliance works to promote the fullness of the Catholic social tradition in the American public square through three primary programs: Grassroots Outreach, Media/Communications, and Strategic Coordination.

Grassroots Outreach

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has created a comprehensive grassroots outreach program to bring the message of Catholic Social Teaching to Catholics at the local level. Working with our Catholic organizational partners, we are building a network of Catholic leaders to promote Catholic social teachings in local areas across the country. We are also working with Catholic leaders to promote the common good message in the media.

Media and Communications

Catholics in Alliance's Media and Communications program is designed to infuse the full message of Catholic Social Teaching into the national dialogue on faith and public life. We accomplish this through:

• Our Media Resource Center which provides information about Catholic social teachings and contemporary issues to members of the press, public officials, and others interested in issues relating to Catholicism and public life.
• Voices for the Common Good, a group of Catholic commentators consisting of prominent Catholic experts on the Catholic social tradition, including priests, women religious (nuns), scholars, theologians, and Catholic organizational leaders.
• Ongoing work with members of the theological community to articulate a full and accurate representation of Catholic Social Teaching, and to suggest practical policy to promote our Church's social vision.
• The Catholic Media Report is a daily compilation of news stories and opinion pieces concerning Catholic Social Teaching and the social justice issues. To receive the Catholic Media report click here.

Commentators from Voices for the Common Good are available to discuss a range of issues through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching.

Strategic Coordination

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good serves as a public networking space where Catholic organizations and leaders dedicated to the common good can converge, organize and unite as a collective voice. Specific aspects of our strategic coordination program include strategic retreats and listservs for our Catholic partners, as well as a public theologians and religious leaders network.
