Committed to the common good
We can’t all do everything, but we can all do something. By working together both at the Capitol and in our communities, we can fight injustice to improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans.
Advocates play a key role in helping Catholic Charities Twin Cities accomplish its mission to serve those most in need. The firsthand accounts from our clients and rigorous data collected through direct service guide our advocacy efforts and help us craft viable, evidence-based policy solutions.
How we advocate
Government and public sector
Our ability to make positive change through direct services relies heavily on funding from local, state, and federal agencies. Our advocacy expands our impact by collaborating with public sector leaders to develop groundbreaking strategies that knock down barriers and expand opportunities for all community members.
Grassroots advocacy
Catholic Charities’ advocacy efforts extend far beyond our walls. We rely on thousands of grassroots advocates, donors, volunteers, coalitions, public and private partners, and a variety of community stakeholders to carry out our mission. Join the movement to ensure our mission is heard and makes the biggest impact possible.
Community education
Catholic Charities creates opportunities for people from all walks of life to learn about and engage with the issues facing our community. Drawing from our services and lived experiences of our clients and staff, Catholic Charities facilitates community discussions on tough but important topics like poverty and trauma.
Public and private partnerships
We are a cornerstone of the Twin Cities’ social and civic infrastructure and bring stakeholders together, including the business community, government officials, nonprofits, and community leaders to address the region’s most pressing challenges.
