Updates that come from Catholic Charities USA:
White house and Congressional leaders are engaged in talks to agree to a new budget target as well as funding critical programs like CHIP and community health centers and a solution for DACA. It is unlikely lawmakers will have enough time to pass a longer term spending bill before the January 19th deadline so an additional short term spending measure is likely.
Another critical priority for Congress is an additional disaster assistance bill. Puerto Rico, Texas, Florida and other disaster impacted regions continue to recover from the devastating hurricanes and wildfire.
Continue to contact your congressional representatives with your input.
I will be including in each JusticeAlert an accomplishment, a positive thought, or a suggestion for how we might contribute to internal, interpersonal or organizational peace. Today’s comes from NETWORK.
“ Spend some time each day quietly reflecting on how we would like to relate to ourselves and others.”
Peace.
