Catholic Voice NC is a new statewide initiative that will give Catholics in North Carolina the opportunity to communicate with their state legislators on issues of importance. It will provide information to subscribers on legislative matters of interest to Catholics in light of Catholic teaching.

Among the legislative issues tracked are:

People are invited to register for alerts, so that when an important issue arises you will receive an email inviting you to contact your legislators to express your views.

You can also find out Who are my Representatives?

You may also track legislative issues at a federal level though the Network, the national Catholic Social Justice Lobby.

 

Call To Action

 


This is an update of the ongoing support of Catholic Voice North Carolina for the Racial Justice Act of 2009 - Webmaster

November 30, 2011

 

Governor Bev Perdue

Office of the Governor
116 West Jones Street
Raleigh, North Carolina 27603

 

Dear Governor Perdue,

In enacting the Racial Justice Act in 2009 the North Carolina General Assembly made clear that North Carolina rejects the influence of race discrimination in the administration of the death penalty.  That was a laudatory goal two years ago and remains so today. Thank you for signing that legislation.

As the bill, No Discriminatory Purpose in the Death Penalty, which would repeal that historic measure, awaits action by you, we urge you to continue to keep North Carolina on the path to justice for all of its citizens that is guaranteed by the Racial Justice Act.

Please veto the No Discriminatory Purpose in the Death Penalty act.

Sincerely, 

The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge

Bishop of Raleigh

The Most Reverend Peter J. Jugis
