We are proud to #ProtectSNAP. Poor health is a challenge for many of our clients and for low-income people across the state. Creating a situation in which more people are hungry, including tens of thousands of children, will further erode health and is surely counterproductive.

Increasing access to healthcare, childcare, and transportation moves people to work; erecting obstacles to healthcare does not. Ask your Missouri legislators to oppose work-tracking requirements as a condition for Medicaid eligibility: bit.ly/CCSTLadvocate

Far too many Missourians without health insurance don’t seek medical care until it’s too late, turning preventable and treatable illnesses into life-threatening ones. This needs to change. Make a plan to vote #YESOn2.

Catholic Charities of St. Louis joins Catholic Charities agencies across the state, the Missouri Catholic Conference, Missouri's Catholic hospitals, and more than 280 organizations in supporting Amendment 2 on August 4. yeson2.org/endorsements

We encourage all the faithful to pray and fast to overcome the evil of racism and to build a just society.
