With a UK general election having been called for July, politicians are looking for our votes – and will be listening to what voters want.
As Catholics, we have a responsibility to make sure political parties commit to tackle the injustices that affect our global family and to care for our common home.
Read more on how you can campaign with CAFOD during the general election.
Call for action at the election
Calling for action is a powerful way of showing how Catholics in constituencies around England and Wales expect politicians to commit to tackling poverty.
All of us can contact candidates standing for Parliament about the issues that matter most to us. We’ll be sharing information and tools for doing this as the election draws closer.
