Social justice involves educating and encouraging others to work toward changing the structures that deny people's dignity and rights that spring from their identity as children of God. Social justic addresses the struggles of the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized on a local, national, and global level.

Did you know that voting is a part of
Catholic Social Teaching?
THEME #6: "CALL TO FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND PARTICIPATION

If you wish to vote in the June 26 Primary Election, you must be registered as either a Democrat or a Republican, and you can vote only for the candidates who are registered in the same party as you. If you are affiliated with any other party, (Green, Libertarian, etc.), or not affiliated at all (Unaffiliated, Independent) you are not allowed to vote in the Primary.

The deadline to register to vote or to change your party affiliation,
is JUNE 5.
 

It's easy to change your party affiliation in order to vote in the primary, and then change it back again before the General Election. Just visit the MD Board of Elections at
voterservices.elections.maryland.gov and click on Register to Vote at the top.
It's critical to remember that the Primary Election decides many races in our state, particularly in districts that historically elect only candidates from one party, so MD Catholic Conference is asking all Catholics to please consider voting this June.
The MD Catholic Conference has surveyed all candidates for Governor, US Congress, and the MD General Assembly. Results for all candidates who responded will be available soon at www.mdcatholic.org/elections.
