Archdiocesan Legislative Network

The Archdiocese of Anchorage Legislative Network serves as a vehicle for Catholics to act on Catholic Social Teaching in the public arena.  Members actively work to promote socially just legislation at the local, state and national level in a number of ways.  Members do not need to be an expert in any field to participate in advocating for justice.  Advocating means speaking up.  It is what most of us do for ourselves and others almost every day.  We each have our own experience and passion that we can draw from when actively involved in legislative advocacy.
