U.S. Economic Justice

 

In the United States, MCC works with low-income communities in diverse places throughout the country – such as the Gulf Coast, Appalachia and Philadelphia.

 

 

The experiences of MCC service workers and partner organizations inform the MCC Washington Office's call for taxpayer dollars to be used less for war and more for nutrition, humanitarian assistance, affordable housing and access to health care.

 

 

In Washington, MCC monitors and advocates for adequate funding for programs in the following areas, utilized by many of the people with whom MCC works:

 

  • Nutrition and hunger relief,
  • Housing,
  • Access to health care,
  • Other economic justice programs designed to support communities and individuals.

 

Specifically, MCC Washington encourages U.S. government officials to increase accessibility and community involvement in these programs.
