From the early days in a tent outside of the School of the Americas in Georgia, I have watched the Ignatian Solidarity Network grow to become one of the most effective and inspiring movements for justice in the Church today. ISN’s energetic Teach-In gives hope every year to all of us who have been in this work for the long haul.
While so many things have sparked my fire for human rights and creating social change, the Teach-In transformed me. My eyes were opened to the vast injustices in our country and around the world, but my heart was full knowing I was surrounded by thousands of other supporters of Catholic-Jesuit-Social Teaching and, quite frankly, human rights.
“… in the midst of some really challenging years, IFTJ is consistently a space of consolation, hope, and resolve. Whatever the secret sauce is, you have it. Thank you for creating this space and empowering and encouraging our Ignatian family.”

“I have never met a man more committed to social justice, and all causes that are good, than my dear friend Charlie Currie. His work with the Ignatian Solidarity Network inspires new generations to serve all humanity.”

In Commemoration of the 31st Anniversary of the murder of the Jesuit Martyrs and Elba and Celina Ramos
“Why were they killed? Because they were living a faith that does justice; they were telling the truth in a society built on lies, and they were trying to be the voice of the voiceless and power for the powerless. Thus, they threatened the powerful, especially the military, in the midst of a bloody civil war.”
Rev. Charles Currie, S.J.
