About "National Call to Action"
“Let your light shine, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your God.”  (Matthew 5:16)

Call to Action (CTA) is a National Catholic movement working for equality and justice in the Church and society. An independent national organization of over 25,000 people and 53 local chapters, CTA believes that the Spirit of God is at work in the whole church, not just in its appointed leaders. The entire Catholic Church has the obligation of responding to the needs of the world and taking initiative in programs of peace and justice.  CTA draws its mission from the US Bishops 1976 Call to Action Conference and the document “Call to Reform in the Catholic Church.”

​Zachary (“Zach”) Johnson begins work as Call To Action’s Executive Director on March 27. Vision Council member Debra Nell Brittenum says “Zach brings to CTA commitment with the right communities through his life, work, and ministry to companion our harnessing the light in this time. Thea Bowman speaks to what excites me most about Zach and his model of leadership: ‘I think the difference between me and some people is that I’m content to do my little bit. Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change. But if each one would light a candle we’d have a tremendous light.'” Here are Zach’s reflections on his own relationship with the church and the ways he has tried to follow the call of Jesus.
