That's the slogan on the promotional poster for this year's Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the collection for which takes place this month.
(Perhaps that's been the slogan in past years too.)
The slogan is a bit odd, I think, and potentially misleading.
The CCHD expressly does not fund charities that provide direct assistance to struggling families.
Rather, it bankrolls outfits that are concerned with supposed structural impediments to social justice, e.g., the Contact Center, a group that emblazons its masthead with a Marxist-style upraised fist and the words "welfare reform = death."
But a slogan reflecting that sort of mission probably wouldn't fill very many collection baskets.

They have a coupon you can print out and put in your collection basket.
The graphic of a single father African American with his two children clinging to a "poverty line" is indicative of (1) CCHD's glaring ignorance as to the structural format of single parent households near the poverty line; and, (2) CCHD's frozen in time myopic race based viewpoint, which has always been inane but is now evidence of clinical insanity given the election of The Great One.

This is the same social justice crowd that is way to the socialist side on the far left fringe. It produces Catholics for Choice and other idiotic groups that give comfort to those who support the holocaust of babies in our country by the millions.
We saw healthcare socialism passed with this group giving the democrats a fig leaf in the amendment which will be watered down in conference if not outright killed on funding of abotions. Nancy Pelosi would not have had the votes to support the bill tonight without assuring the baby killing majority that the fig leaf would go away in conference and the language would be so filled with wiggle room that the so called pro life democrats would vote as needed to pass. I suspect they will hire the USCCB to help them write the wiggle room as they did with the voter guide.
They could give to the National Right to Work Committee to support repeal of laws that create compulsory unionism. This is definitely a structural injustice that coerces workers, subjecting them to harassment and abuse, that distorts the economy, that enriches organized labor institutions at pretty much everyone else's expense.
