Budget/Appropriations: NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, will significantly harm millions of hardworking people and families to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill made significant cuts to programs that help keep costs down in housing, healthcare, veterans services, seniors services, and more. This bill also shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention centers and private prisons to cage immigrant families. NETWORK strongly opposes H.R.1, the budget reconciliation bill, because it makes significant cuts to our nation's healthcare programs - MEDICAID and the Affordable Care Act - and food programs - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - to pay for 4.5 trillion dollars of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and to fund the mass separation of families through detention and deportation. The bill also raises our nation's debt by 3.5 trillion dollars. NETWORK opposed House CR proposal because it did not address the need to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits for 24 million Americans before open enrollment, November 1. NETWORK Lobby urged a YES on H.R. 7148 H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which was signed into law on February 3, 2026, becoming Public Law No: 119-75. It provides full-year, bipartisan funding for several federal departments-including Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Transportation-for the remainder of FY2026. NETWORK Lobby urged Members of Congress to reject the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies. Civil Rights/Civil Liberties: NETWORK Lobby opposes HR 2,the SAVE Act. This bill will limit the ability of citizens to vote by requiring burdensome new documentation to do so and by eliminating common sense channels of registration like online registration. NETWORK opposed H.R. 1's 10 year moratorium on the regulation of AI due to civil right and privacy concerns. NETWORK Lobby opposes HR 5296, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act which would federal bill that would fundamentally change how Americans register to vote. Voters would generally need to present documentary proof of citizenship in person before completing registration, effectively eliminating most current online and mail registration methods. For most people, that means only passport or certified birth certificate that matches a voter's current name. Real ID and other forms of identification would no suffice. NETWORK strongly supports the Defending Americas Future Elections Act (S.1240), as a countermeasure against voter suppression attempts by Congress and the Administration. NETWORK urges support for Protecting Our Democracy Act (S. 2838/HR 8831) to protect our democracy by preventing abuses of Presidential power, restoring checks and balances and accountability and transparency in government, and defending elections against foreign interference, and other purposes. NETWORK urges support for the Get Foreign Money Out of U.S. Elections Act (HR 8988/S 4666) to ban foreign based multinational corporations from spending in US elections. Consumer Issues/Safety/Products: NETWORK supports HR 633, the Take It Down Act. The bill provides tools to designed to protect victims of real and deepfake revenge pornography. NETWORK opposed H.J. Res. 61, which seeks to nullify an EPA rule setting hazardous air pollutant standards for rubber tire manufacturing. NETWORK also opposed H.J. Res. 42, which aims to revoke a Department of Energy rule updating certification and labeling requirements for various appliances. NETWORK opposed both resolutions, issuing vote recommendations to protect environmental standards and consumer transparency. Network opposed H.R. 1897, the Endangered Species Act Amendments Act of 2025, would rewrite significant portions of the law to slow the process for listing and recovering threatened and endangered species while expanding exemptions for projects that jeopardize them and fast-tracking the process for delisting them. NETWORK opposed H.R. 5587, the Harnessing Energy At Thermal Sources (HEATS) Act, would eliminate all review, public input, and transparency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for prescribed geothermal development impacting public lands and resources. NETWORK opposed the Senate vote on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval to overturn protections for the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Voyageurs National Park and surrounding Superior National Forest from toxic copper-nickel sulfide ore mining. NETWORK opposed the following House bills that would significantly weaken the Clean Air Act: the FIRE Act, the FENCES Act, and the RED Tape Act. The bills are a direct attack on the health and safety of our communities. NETWORK supports the AI Data Center Moratorium Act (H.R. 9442/S. 4214) which would impose a moratorium on the construction of new data centers until legislation is enacted that safeguards the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence. NETWORK urges support for the Energy Bills Relief Act (H.R. 7977) which calls for new infrastructure investment in clean energy that lowers household utility costs while reducing pollution. Health Issues: NETWORK strongly opposes the FY 25 Budget Reconciliation Act because it will cut $880 Billion in Medicaid funding and introduce structural changes to the program that will make it harder for children, pregnant women, low income workers, and the elderly to access healthcare. These cuts are included to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and to increase the detention and deportation of immigrants. NETWORK strongly opposed H.R 1 for many reason including cutting 1 trillion dollars from our nation's healthcare programs including MEDICAID, the Affordable Care Act and ultimately Medicare due to debt triggers. We expect a 500 billion cut to the program. NETWORK strongly supports efforts to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits for 24 million Americans. Without support, at minimum, 5 million people will lose coverage for 2025. NETWORK strongly opposes efforts to cut Medicaid funding for home healthcare providers by the Trump Administration. Home healthcare services are fundamentally important to ensure disabled and elder individuals are able to live safely at home. Under US law, people have the right to access services to ensure they stay in the least restrictive environment possible. This also saves significant money. Family issues/Abortion/Adoption: NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK supports FAMILY Act would create for the first time the permanent right to paid, job-protected comprehensive family and medical leave for all American workers. H.R. 1464 - Modern WIC Act, which makes permanent flexibilities that allow for remote enrollment, services, and benefit issuance for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). NETWORK urges support for the Tech to Save Moms Act (HR 8317) to leverage the use of telehealth to improve maternal health outcomes, including expanding remote patient monitoring and promoting virtual training and capacity building models. Foreign Relations: NETWORK opposed the Trump Administration's placing conditions on US funding for healthcare through the PEPFAR program on US access to that countries' critical minerals. NETWORK supports full funding for FY 27 to ensure the PEPFAR program is able to meet health access goals in Africa. Homeland Security: NETWORK rejects further militarization of our borders and the ending of asylum processing into the United States. NETWORK continues to support Refugee Resettlement of vulnerable peoples around the world. NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports HR 6397, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which would seeks to overhaul the U.S. immigration detention system by ending for-profit detention, abolishing mandatory detention, and prohibiting solitary confinement. NETWORK strongly supports S. 3348, the Dream Act, which would federal proposal to provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers." NETWORK strongly supports S. 455/H.R. 1061, the Sensitive Locations Act, to prohibit immigration enforcement actions in places vital to community life, such as schools, hospitals, courthouses, places of worship, and social service centers. NETWORK opposes FY 26 funding for ICE CBP with safeguards and protocols that keep communities safe, and require the personal to operate under best practices for law enforcement. ICE and CBP must operate humanely and protect the dignity of all. NETWORK Lobby strongly opposed the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies. NETWORK strongly supports H.R. 1689, a bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status. This is critical to ensure current Haitian TPS holders can remain in the US and have valid work authorization. NETWORK strongly opposes the Deport Alien Gang Members Act, a bill that would drastically expand the federal governments authority to label activists as gang members and expedite their removal. Housing: NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill made significant cuts to programs that help keep costs down including significant cuts to critical housing programs. NETWORK strongly supports the following housing bills: HR 6644 Housing in the 21st Century Act which would increase housing supply by modernizing federal programs, reducing regulatory burdens, and giving local governments more flexibility to streamline building processes, making housing more affordable through supply-side solutions like updating zoning, encouraging pre-approved designs, and supporting new construction methods. S. 2720/HR 6957 Yes, in God's Backyard Act which would help faith-based organizations and institutions of higher education unlock the promise of their existing land holdings by transforming underused property into much-needed affordable housing. S. 2651, The Road to Housing Act which would tackle the housing crisis by increasing housing supply, modernizing programs, and reducing regulatory barriers, incorporating provisions from numerous other housing bills. NETWORK strongly supports the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a legislative package that includes the vast majority of the Scott-Warren ROAD to Housing Act, which received unanimous support from the Senate last fall, and the vast majority of the housing provisions from the 21st Century Housing Act, which passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act also includes a bill that would ban large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes. NETWORK supported the final FY26 Appropriations package for T-HUD: Continuum of Care funding, funding for vouchers, public housing maintenance funding, and emergency homeless funding. NETWORK strongly supported the revised 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill to expand the supply of affordable housing. Immigration: NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that will substantially expand detention and deportation of law-abiding immigrants who contribute to our communities. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports: Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061) which would prohibit enforcement actions like arrests or searches at places such as schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, DMVs, and homeless shelters. American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 (H.R. 1589) which would provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It would also include recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) beneficiaries. Religious Workforce Protection Act (H.R. 2672 / S. 1298) which would amend immigration law to allow foreign-born religious workers (R-1 visa holders) to remain in the U.S. past the current 5-year limit while awaiting permanent residency (EB-4) approval, preventing mandatory one-year departures. Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act (H.R. 3763 / S. 1965) which would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected children who are classified as special immigrant juveniles. The Dream Act (S. 3348) which would provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers". The Dignity for Detained Immigrant Act (HR 6397) which would reform the U.S. detention system by ending mandatory detention, prohibiting family detention, and phasing out private detention facilities over three years. NETWORK opposes funding proposals for ICE and CBP without adequate protections for communities to stop oppose and mass deportations. These agencies are not living up to obligations to conduct themselves with humanity and care for individuals. Rather they are unaccountable agents who disregard basic standards of human dignity and care. They should not be funded unless they overhaul operations and apply basic policing standards to their work. NETWORK Lobby strongly opposed the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies. NETWORK strongly supports H.R. 1689, a bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status. This is critical to ensure current Haitian TPS holders can remain in the US and have valid work authorization. NETWORK strongly opposes the Deport Alien Gang Members Act, a bill that would drastically expand the federal governments authority to label activists as gang members and expedite their removal. Labor Issues/Antitrust/Workplace: NETWORK endorsed and strongly supports the Raise the Wage Act which lifts the minimum wage in America and ends the substandard tipped wage as well. NETWORK endorsed and supports FAMILY Act would create for the first time the permanent right to paid, job-protected comprehensive family and medical leave for all American workers. NETWORK endorsed and supports Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation that would strengthen the Equal Pay Act of 1963, help eliminate the gender wage gap, and guarantee that women can challenge pay discrimination and hold employers accountable. NETWORK endorsed and supports H.R. 20, the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a comprehensive proposal to protect workers right to come together and bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces. NETWORK supports HR 2550, Protecting American Workers Act, which would reverse the Trump EO stripping a million federal workers of the right to bargain. NETWORK strongly support the Double the Wage for Overtime Act (HR 9216). This bill would increase the rate of overtime pay for the first time in nearly 90 years. Economic analysis shows the bill would help more than 13 million workers. Law Enforcement/Crime/Criminal Justice: NETWORK supports The Reentry Support Act (HR 2586) which would allow for Medicaid payment of medical services furnished to an incarcerated individual during the 30-day period preceding the individual's release. NETWORK strongly supports the Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2025 (S.1843 / H.R.3552) and seeks reauthorize of these grant programs through FY2030. Funding is critical for reentry programs that help formerly incarcerated individuals successfully transition back into their communities. Medicare/Medicaid: NETWORK strongly opposes the FY 25 Budget Reconciliation Act because it will cut $880 Billion in Medicaid funding and introduce structural changes to the program that will make it harder for children, pregnant women, low income workers, and the elderly to access healthcare. These cuts are included to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and to increase the detention and deportation of immigrants. It is immoral. NETWORK strongly supports ensuring that the Social Security 2100 Act which increases and expands with a 2% across the board for all Social Security beneficiaries for the first time in 52 years. This bill improves the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), so it reflects the inflation actually experienced by seniors and increases benefits to boost lower income seniors. NETWORK strongly opposed H.R 1 for many reason including cutting 1 trillion dollars from our nation's healthcare programs including MEDICAID, the Affordable Care Act and ultimately Medicare due to debt triggers. 500 billion in expected cuts. NETWORK strongly supports bill that would extend premium tax credits to purchase health coverage on the Affordable Care Act for three years. NETWORK strongly opposes efforts to cut Medicaid funding for home healthcare providers by the Trump Administration. Home healthcare services are fundamentally important to ensure disabled and elder individuals are able to live safely at home. Under US law, people have the right to access services to ensure they stay in the least restrictive environment possible. This also saves significant money. Taxation/Internal Revenue Code: NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, it would be 7 Trillion dollars of tax benefits to the ultra-wealthy and corporations and would be "paid for" with significant cuts to health (Medicaid) and food programs (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.) NETWORK strongly support the Tax Cut for Workers Act (H.R. 2764). This bill would Virtually triple the maximum value of the EITC for so-called childless workers from about $540 to about $1,500; extend the credit to both younger and older workers who are currently ineligible for the credit because of their age - delivering the credit to people ages 19 to 24 as well as 65 and older; and make the credit more accessible for adults aging out of the foster youth system. NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK strongly opposes HR 1 because the tax relief is highly regressive, providing most to high income individuals and major corporations (4.5 trillion), while failing to expand low income tax credits to lift working families out of poverty. This bill drives up our national debt by 3.5 trillion. Tax relief is "paid for" by gutting healthcare and food programs for families. The bill also encourages US job loss due to offshoring incentives. NETWORK support the Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act (S.3432 / H.R.6645) to help families affected by federally declared disasters by letting them use their previous year's income to calculate eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). NETWORK supports the following bills to tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations: Tax Wealth Over $50 Million Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act - Introduces a 2% annual tax on household net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, plus a 1% to 3% surtax on net worth over $1 billion. It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. * The Robinhood Act, a bill to tax billionaires by taxing loan when he/she borrows against stock options. Most billionaires are pay themselves in stock options which are not taxable. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas. It would equalize foreign and domestic corporate tax rates that would incentivize offshoring investments. Strengthening Social Security and Medicare Scrap the payroll tax cap to fully fund Social Security and Medicare for next generations: Social Security 2100 Act - Applies the Social Security payroll tax to earnings over $400,000, closing the gap where high incomes were previously exempt. Trade (domestic/foreign): NETWORK supports urging them to use the upcoming mandatory six-year review of the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), to make significant and necessary improvements to the trade deal. Since the deals entry into force on July 1, 2020, it has become increasingly clear that the deal has not delivered on the promises of reshoring and job growth that President Trump promised in his first term. Multinational corporations have continued to threaten to offshore jobs as leverage against workers; the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico and Canada has increased, with imports undermining U.S. businesses and workers in key sectors like auto and aerospace; and Chinese companies have invested in Mexico to skirt U.S. trade laws and take advantage of the USMCAs benefits, funneling unfair Chinese imports into the U.S. NETWORK strongly supports the Fair Trade for Working Families Resolution which calls for strong new labor, environmental protections along with new enforcement mechanisms as goals for the renegotiation of the USMCA. Welfare: NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, will cut $230 Billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program to pay for 7 trillion tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and corporations. NETWORK opposes H.R. 1 because it enriches the wealthy at the expense of working families. NETWORK opposes the House Continuing Resolution because it fails to remedy the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credit before the beginning of ACA open enrollment, Nov. 1. This will lead to 5 million Americans losing healthcare coverage.
