What Issues Do We Work On?

The Jesuit Conference’s Secretariat for Social and International Ministries (JSIM) seeks to influence public and legislative policy. The following are our current focus areas.

  • Africa: war and peace, and HIV/AIDS
  • Domestic Poverty: affordable housing, minimum wage, and Gulf Coast recovery
  • Migration: Immigration Reform and collaboration with Jesuit Refugee Service
  • War and Violence: Plan Colombia, Iraq, and Anti-Torture

Through the National Jesuit Committee on Investment Responsibility(NJCIR), JSIM also engages in corporate advocacy to promote human rights and water sustainability through dialogues with corporations, shareholder resolutions, and proxy voting.
