Long-time CTA member and member of the national CTA Anti-Racism Team, Marian Fredal, was featured in the cover story of the 6/8/14 issue of Isthmus. She relates her experience growing up in suburban Detroit during a time of high racial tension and the strong influence of her Catholic upbringing toward social justice. Marian has continued to take an active role in addressing racism, conducting workshops locally as well as around the country to help confront racism in individual attitudes and in our society.

They're On the Move Again!
Nuns on the Bus

NETWORK's Nuns on the Bus are back on the road driving for faith, family, and citizenship — traveling across the United States — 6,500 miles over 15 states — 53 events in 40 cities — standing with immigrants, faith-filled activists, and Catholic Sisters who serve immigrant communities.

Calling for commonsense immigration reform that:
  • Ensures family unity
  • Protects the rights of immigrant workers
  • Acknowledges that our borders are already secure, with only minor changes needed
  • Speeds up processing of already-approved immigrants
  • Enhances the present diversity visa program
  • Provides a clear and direct pathway to citizenship for the 11 million people who are undocumented in the U.S.

The message is clear: We need commonsense immigration policies that reflect our values, not our fears. Congress must act now!
