Sister Simone Campbell NETWORK
Sister Simone was first selected to lead NETWORK in 2004 and remains to serve as its executive director. In March 2010, the United States Congress discussed reforms to healthcare, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H. R. 3590).
As a part of her work with NETWORK, she wrote the “nuns’ letter” encouraging the reforms and asked leaders of women’s religious orders to approve it. Sixty leaders of religious orders and umbrella groups signed and the letter was posted to all members of Congress.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the recognized voice of the Catholic Church in the US, did not approve the healthcare reforms. The letter added to the momentum in favor of the legislation. Campbell was one of the attendees at the signing ceremony for the law and got a hug of gratitude from President Obama.
Campbell began the Nuns on the Bus project, in which she likewise participated. Together with a small group of religious sisters (commonly, “nuns”) make trips on a dedicated bus to highlight social issues. In 2012, the opening year of the project, the Nuns strived to draw attention to nuns’ work with the poor and to protest projected aid cuts.
In honor of her advocacy work, she was the 2014 winner of the Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award, which honors the 1963 encyclical of Saint John XXIII of the same name.
Sister Simone Campbell Quotes
When you touch the pain of the world as real, there is a solidarity, an engagement with the Gospel, a living faith that blossoms forth
We are the ones who work every day with people who are suffering because they don’t have health care. We cannot turn our backs on them, so for us, health care reform is a faith-based response to human need.
For me, policy is best when connected to the roots, and roots are best when connected to policy. So I encourage you all to stay connected…and walk with real people while doing the activism. Lord knows we need folks who are engaged.
