March-April 2013 Mercy justice highlights published every other month JUSTICE HIGHLIGHT Meeting Examines Signs of the Times, Sets Priorities Justice coordinators from throughout the Institute and their leadership liaisons discovered the power of organizing for social change as they learned new tools and processes that will help with more successfully addressing the Critical Concerns that impact the lives of people we love. This annual meeting of the Extended Justice Team, which was hosted by the Institute Justice Team, was steeped in and informed by the signs of the times around the world, within the United States and from the perspective of the growing influence of multi-national corporations. Sisters Eileen Campbell and Anne Curtis of the Institute Leadership Team first reviewed a Mercy leadership document that includes, among other goals and strategies, a framework for integrating personal and communal responses to the Critical Concerns into all aspects of Mercy life

Enero-Febrero 2013 Lo último de la Misericordia sobre Justicia publicado cada dos meses ¿SABÍAS ESTO? La Misericordia Aborda Tema de la Violencia con Armas Después del Tiroteo en Newtown El tiroteo en una escuela primaria en Newtown, CT, ha puesto la preocupación sobre la violencia con armas en primer plano de la agenda nacional. De hecho, más de 530 defensoras de derechos de la Misericordia – entre los números más altos para una sola acción legislativa – se pusieron en contacto con sus legisladores para instar la promulgación de una ley federal que como mínimo prohíba armas de estilo militar y cargadores de munición de alta capacidad. Además de sumarse al coro de voces que demandan serias medidas legislativas para el control de armas, las Hermanas de la Misericordia están pidiendo más conversación sobre la cultura de violencia que impregna comunidades, políticas de seguridad nacional y la industria de entretenimiento. Estamos conscientes de que los tiroteos en Newtown son solamente

January-February 2013 Mercy justice highlights published every other month DID YOU KNOW THIS? Mercy Addresses Gun Violence After Newtown Shootings The shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, CT, have pushed concern about gun violence to the forefront of the nation’s agenda. Indeed, more than 530 Mercy advocates – among the most ever for one legislative action -- contacted their legislators to urge enactment of a federal law that at a minimum bans military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. In addition to joining the chorus for serious gun control legislation, the Sisters of Mercy are calling for more conversation about the culture of violence that pervades communities, national security policies and the entertainment industry. We realize that the Newtown shootings are just the latest in several high-profile mass shootings in the U. S. , and that every day children, teens, women and men in inner-city neighborhoods are victims of and witnesses to violence in i

November-December 2012 Mercy justice highlights published every other month DID YOU KNOW THIS? Faith-based Groups Step Up Food Justice Advocacy In recent years industrial agricultural corporations and financial firms have taken control of much of the global food industry, including land, production processes, and even the pricing of food through speculation. This has deepened concerns about the impact on people most affected by hunger and malnutrition around the world. To counter this, the Sisters of Mercy at the United Nations have insisted on recognizing the human right to food and have added their voices to those calling for “empowerment of people” as a step toward eradicating poverty. You may learn more about food justice issues in an article contributed by the Maryknoll Center for Global Concerns and in an entertaining but informative video by Anna Lappé. To join in the global food justice movement, please consider coming to Washington, D. C. , April 5-8 for
