“A program to recruit and support Latino and Latina scholars in religion, providing both financial resources and a network of support, mentoring, and encouragement.”
NETWORK’s mission and values arise out of the long and rich tradition of Catholic Social Justice. This tradition encompasses the written teachings of the Church (Catholic Social Teaching) but is also broader, including the witness of all Christians and people of faith committed to proclaiming the love of the Gospel and the justice of God’s kingdom in the public sphere. We at NETWORK are inspired in a special way by the courageous commitment of Catholic sisters living out Gospel justice. Catholic Social Justice is not a theory or an intellectual exercise, but rather how people of faith are called to live the Gospel in a broken and suffering world.

The Interfaith Welcome Coalition came together in the summer of 2014 in response to the overwhelming need of unaccompanied children coming to the United States from Central America.
In response to the crisis, a broad network of faith communities & community organizations began working closely with a local legal nonprofit organization.
We provide affirmative, defensive, and litigation services to low-income immigrants.
With more immigration lawyers than any organization in Texas, in 2018 RAICES managed 37,863 cases at no cost to our clients. Without pro-bono legal services most of our clients, including children of all ages, would have to go to court alone, with zero representation. We believe no child should go to court alone.
We work to advance the human rights of all migrants by increasing legal knowledge and access to legal services.
We carry out our mission by providing free and low-cost legal services to detained, low-income immigrants facing removal from the United States at the third largest adult detention center in the U.S.: the South Texas Detention Complex located 65 miles southwest of San Antonio in Pearsall, Texas (bed capacity: 1900).
We support all immigrants regardless of nationality, race / ethnicity / tribe, religion, political opinion, gender, sexual orientation / gender identity, or age.
We envision a world where all detained migrants have access to the legal knowledge and legal services necessary to protect and fully exercise their human rights.
We transparently report on progress.
We engage and activate the San Antonio community.
We align organizations toward shared goals.
Project Lifeline is an Innovative hybrid pairing legal and medical initiatives, education and advocacy to support migrant children from the time they enter the US until they are firmly established here.
Project Amplify is a national campaign launched to establish legal protections for children in government care so that the brutality discovered on the border in June never happens again. How? We are sharing the children’s stories themselves in their own words with the public in a variety of amplification events around the country that will also include experts in medicine, mental health, law, economics, immigration, human trafficking, history, social welfare and the arts starting in September 2019 and spanning the next 16 months.
