As of today, the program is no longer processing decisions, impacting legal service providers, the immigrant community, and the livelihood of future and current accredited representatives. PROTECTING SENSITIVE LOCATIONS ACT (H.R.1061/S.455): NAC advocates were asked to send messages to their Members of Congress to pass the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R.1061/S.455) - one of EAD 2026s focus areas. The proposed federal bill would restrict U.S. immigration enforcement actions (arrests, searches, surveillance) by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations, except in exigent circumstances. These locations include schools (pre-K to university), hospitals, places of worship, courthouses, shelters, and food pantries. HILL VISIT: Led MD delegation at Rep Raskins office for Ecumenical Advocacy Days: Protecting People, Peace, and Planet (Protecting Sensitive Locations Act - H.R. 1061 / S. 455, and FEMA Act - H.R. 4669) HILL VISIT: Met with staff of Senator Chris Koons (DE) regarding immigration legislation: Dignity Act (H.R. 4393) SUPPORT SENATE PUSH FOR TPS (Temporary Protected Status) FOR HAITI: Already having passed in the House, the sign-on letter urges the Senate to vote for a three-year extension for Haitian TPS holders. HILL VISIT: Meeting with Senator Van Hollens office (MD) on the Dream Act (S.3348) THE DREAM ACT (S.3348): Invitation sent to advocates to send message urging their MOCs to support the DREAM Act and provide individuals who came to the U.S. as children the opportunity to become citizens. June 15 marked 14 years since immigrant youth and our communities won DACA protections. For more than a decade, this program has allowed hundreds of thousands of our neighbors to pursue a higher education, start businesses, buy a house, and build their entire lives in the only place they have ever called home. GREEN CARD ADVOCACY: Part of Interfaith Immigration Coalition Green Card Press Release: Fran Eskin-Royer, Executive Director of the National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, said: The United States government has announced - without congressional action or federal rule-making - that it intends to constrain the green card application process placing lawful, legal residents at risk of being forced to leave the United States and wait an undetermined length of time for their cases to proceed. How will the federal government suddenly be able to process these cases efficiently and in a timely manner? Imagine leaving your families behind; forced into a now unfamiliar country with no means to support yourself; now at the mercy of two governments. Hows that going to work out? NAC calls on the Trump Administration to rethink and rework its plans and remember that the United States of America is the land of opportunity and welcome. It is an honor to be the destination of choice; let us show some mercy and gratitude. Then we will flourish together.","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":145398,"prefix":"ms","prefix_display":"MS.","first_name":"FRANCES","nickname":"FRAN","middle_name":null,"last_name":"ESKIN-ROYER","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false}],"government_entities":[{"id":2,"name":"HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES"},{"id":37,"name":"Justice, Dept of (DOJ)"},{"id":9,"name":"President of the U.S."},{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"}]},{"general_issue_code":"BUD","general_issue_code_display":"Budget/Appropriations","description":"BUDGET PRIORITIZING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES: NAC signed on to a letter urging Congress to prioritize children and families in upcoming budget and appropriations decisions, reverse the very concerning trend of disinvestment in children and the harm done under H.R. 1, and safeguard congressional power of the purse.

The letter calls on Congress to reject the Administrations proposed cuts and instead reverse recent reductions so these vital programs can meet the needs of families, communities, and local economies. $1.5 TRILLION PENTAGON BUDGET: NAC signed a faith letter that called on Congress to reject the $1.5 Trillion Pentagon budget for Fiscal Year 2027. Our traditions are united by a shared moral conviction: the call to protect human dignity, care for the vulnerable, and pursue peace demands that our nation make wiser and more just choices with its resources. We therefore call on Congress to act with moral clarity by: 1.Rejecting the proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and opposing any increase in Pentagon funding for FY 2027. 2.Protecting funding for essential human needs programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, housing assistance, education, and other programs that support the health and dignity of millions of Americans. 3.Demanding accountability from the Department of Defense, including a credible path toward passing a full financial audit before any further budget increases are considered. 4.Investing in alternatives to militarism-such as foreign aid, diplomacy, peacebuilding, and nonviolent social movements to ensure true human national and global security. FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ELECTIONS: NAC signed a letter urging Congress to appropriate $825 million for election administration in FY27, commensurate with the largest amount Congress sent to states during the first Trump Administration, in 2020. It also requests Congress direct a significant portion of that funding to the localities that run our elections. As in years past, the letter makes the case for election funding as a voting rights issue. It highlights the insufficiency and inequity of current funding for elections and the increased urgency with the disappearance of other federal resources. New this year, it also details the impact of emergencies like natural disasters on election administration and voting access, and it details how adequate funding can help jurisdictions prepare and ensure voting access is not limited in the wake of a disaster. CENSUS APPROPRIATIONS: The sign-on letter urges robust funding for the U.S. Census Bureau in the FY 2027 CJS appropriations bill, specifically $2.111 billion as recommended by The Census Project ($99.5 million more than the Administrations budget request of $2.011 billion). AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS ASSISTANCE: The letter outlines FY27 affordable housing and homelessness assistance priorities. During a cost-of-living crisis, housing is most households largest expense. Programs that help alleviate this burden and prevent or respond to homelessness shouldnt be overlooked in a tight budget year. The letter thanks appropriators for their work last year and shares our prayer for their sustained collaboration, acting as shepherds, safeguarding the homeless and providing rental assistance to bring peace to those who suffer, as FY27 funding decisions are made. UPDATED OPPOSITION TO SENATE BUDGET RESOLUTION: Sign-on letter in opposition to the Senate Republican Committee's recently released legislative text for the reconciliation legislation that would provide even MORE money to ICE and CBP (plus money for the White House ballroom). A vote is scheduled to be held shortly. The updated letter opposes even worse policy amendments that are contrary to our mission and values. OPPOSITION TO ENFORCEMENT-FOCUSED RECONCILIATION BILL: Faith groups at the national, state, and local levels were invited to sign on to a letter addressed to House and Senate leadership, as well as the Homeland Security and Judiciary Committee leaders. The letter raises a central concern about the upcoming reconciliation bill: that Congress is overlooking the rising cost of living and growing gaps in social safety net programs while advancing additional immigration enforcement funding without any real reforms. Members of Congress should VOTE NO on the reconciliation bill. FY27 CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH APPROPRIATIONS LETTER: The FY27 appropriations sign-on letter to House and Senate Appropriations leadership urges continued funding for the only two federal programs specifically dedicated to addressing mental health in very young children: the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Grant Program and Project LAUNCH, both within Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations (SAMHSA) Programs of Regional and National Significance (PRNS). The letter also calls for report language directing to reinstate training and technical assistance to grantees, which SAMHSA discontinued last year. OPPOSE $1.5T PENTAGON PLUS-UP AT MARKUP: Sign-on opposing the Trump administration's astronomical $1.5 trillion Pentagon plus-up, which, in the president's own words, is coming at the expense of programs vital to our communities. NAC ACTION ALERT: Asked network members to send an email to their MOCs urging them to vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill which omits critical guardrails to keep our communities safe and fails to lower costs or provide much needed support to people on the margins. For example: At a moment when families across the country are struggling to afford housing, food and healthcare, and social safety net programs have been cut, Congress is now considering a reconciliation bill that gives Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) over $70 billion for immigration enforcement. This is on top of the $170 billion ICE and CBP received last year through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. HILL VISIT: Meeting with Rep. Fitzpatricks office (PA) on Reconciliation Bill 2.0. OPPOSE ANTI-DEIA RIDERS IN FY27 APPROPRIATIONS: Over the last eighteen months, the current administration has abused its authority to try to prohibit and chill programs that advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). Many of these efforts have been stalled or halted due to the collective efforts of civil rights and nonprofit communities. Unfortunately, as in years past, several House appropriations bills include riders prohibiting the use of funds for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; critical race theory; or promoting divisive concepts. It is more important now than ever that we ensure Congress does not give its stamp of approval to the administrations divisive agenda.","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":145398,"prefix":"ms","prefix_display":"MS.","first_name":"FRANCES","nickname":"FRAN","middle_name":null,"last_name":"ESKIN-ROYER","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false}],"government_entities":[{"id":2,"name":"HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES"},{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"}]},{"general_issue_code":"CPI","general_issue_code_display":"Computer Industry","description":"HILL VISIT: Meeting with Senator Warnocks office (GA) about Good Shepherd Services Atlanta (also promoted S. 1748 KOSA)","foreign_entity_issues":"","lobbyists":[{"lobbyist":{"id":145398,"prefix":"ms","prefix_display":"MS.","first_name":"FRANCES","nickname":"FRAN","middle_name":null,"last_name":"ESKIN-ROYER","suffix":null,"suffix_display":null},"covered_position":null,"new":false}],"government_entities":[{"id":1,"name":"SENATE"}]},{"general_issue_code":"FOR","general_issue_code_display":"Foreign Relations","description":"CATHOLIC (PUBLIC) STATEMENT AGAINST DEATH PENALTY EXPANSION IN PALESTINE: NAC signed this statement expressing strong moral opposition to Israeli legislation calling for death penalty expansion, and urging immediate action to protect Palestinian life, uphold human dignity, and ensure respect for international law and accountability.

These bills will not in any way strengthen our childcare system or help the millions of families struggling to find and afford the childcare they need. Instead, these bills would further weaponize childcare funding and deny support to children and families.
