USCCB issues action alert on debt ceiling (USCCB)

The action alert, released May 24, begins, “As Congress addresses the debt ceiling, urge them to remember the poor and vulnerable!”

The alert follows a letter in which representatives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA, and Catholic Relief Services asked members of Congress not to make “disproportionate cuts” to anti-poverty programs as they address the debt limit.
