Criminal Justice
Pope Francis reminds us that God is in everyone’s life, even in those whose actions we find hard to forgive. We believe that all people are entitled to the opportunity for rehabilitation and reconciliation. We advocate for criminal justice reform, including abolishing capital punishment, eliminating mandatory minimum sentencing, and strengthening support structures for re-entry.
