A Toolkit for the Common Good
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does."
-Margaret Mead
You can help raise awareness of the Common Good and Catholic Social Teaching in your community and in the media. Listed below are ideas and tips to help you or your organization increase awareness of social justice issues such as ending poverty, immigration reform, creating peace, and healthcare for all.
With your help, we can encourage the leaders of our communities, cities, states and country to work to improve the lives of all people, regardless of race, economic condition or nationality.
We have developed two major resources to help you spread the message of the common good: Media Outreach and Grassroots Outreach. Thank you for helping to promote awareness of the common good.
Media Outreach
You can play an important role in informing others in your community as well as on the national level about the common good. These pages contain resources for helping you reach out to the media. In addition, other sections in this website, Catholic Social Teaching and The Common Good for example, have useful information that will help you frame your message.
Grassroots Outreach
Learn about what you can do to initiate and support local actions and organize to support the common good where you live.
