Women's Justice Circles have been awarded the 2012 Sister Margaret Cafferty Development of People Award at the U.S. Bishops Conference Catholic Social Ministry Gathering in Washington, D.C.
The Cafferty award is given to an individual or group involved in developing innovative strategies to accompanying poor and low income persons as they struggle to improve their situation and to change the structures.
Giselle Cárcamo (Justice for Women Coordinator) and Sister Linda Haydock, SNJM (IPJC Executive Director) traveled to Washington, D.C. to accept the award with two of the Women's Justice Circle leaders, Maria Villagrana and Imelda Vera.
The Women's Justice Circles received the award in recognition of Justice for Women grassroots organizing that takes place in 42 cities in Washington and in Oregon, Peru and El Salvador with partnerships, networks and/or circle sites with 55 Catholic parishes.
Congratulations to all the participants, organizers and leaders of Women's Justice Circles, past, present and future!
Thank you to all 400+ faithful citizens, from 50 Catholic parishes, who joined us to advocate on behalf of economic justice for all, especially people who are poor and vulnerable.

Build Community- with young adults regionally, nationally and internationally
Act for Justice - explore issues of global and local concern and act together for justice
