How "Nuns on the Bus" does Lent...
Today is Ash Wednesday
Join Us in a Journey of Dismantling and Building Anew
On Ash Wednesday, we begin the sacred season of Lent with repentance. Lent is a time for reflection and action, of examining our old ways and preparing for a new way of living in community with one another. In this spirit, NETWORK has gathered information, reflections, and ways to take action based on the Build Anew Agenda to share every week during Lent.
As our nation embarks on a period of new political leadership, it is important to stay engaged and act with intention to shape the society we wish to see. Each week of Lent, you will be called to advocate for COVID-19 relief, justice for immigrants, strengthening our democracy, and more. Join us in taking action to shape our nation's policies during Lent.

During Lent, we encourage members of the NETWORK community to join us in reflecting and acting on a topic together. For Lent 2021, our weekly resources will introduce NETWORK’s Build Anew policy agenda.
In a world of growing economic disparity and increasing individualism, we call for federal policies that dismantle systemic racism, eliminate the wealth and income gap, improve the well-being of our communities, and allow all people to thrive — especially those most often left out: women, people of color, and people on the economic margins.
Emerging from encounter with families and communities across the United States, the Build Anew Agenda is a pathway to realizing our vision of a just and inclusive society.
This Lenten guide will explore how our issue areas relate to the four Cornerstones to Build our Country Anew: Dismantling Systemic Racism, Cultivating Inclusive Community, Rooting Our Economy in Solidarity, and Transforming Our Politics. During each week of Lent, we will email reflections, prayers, and actions to educate NETWORK members on the issue areas and get them excited about advocacy in the new administration and Congress.
