2017-2018 Annual Report & Appeal for Support
the future has
e p o h s i e m a a name and its n
The future does have a name, and its name is Hope. … A single individual is enough for hope to exist, and that individual can be you. And then there will be another “you,” and another “you,” and it turns into an “us.” And so, does hope begin when we have an “us?” No. Hope began with one “you.” When there is an “us,” there begins a revolution. Pope Francis, TED Talk April 2017
Dear Friends, During this past year, we at the Intercommunity Peace and Justice Center have drawn inspiration and strength from these words of Pope Francis about hope and the power of community. Hope is the essential ingredient which enables us to keep working for justice even in the face of challenges which can at times feel overwhelming. Pope Francis could have been describing our IPJC community when he spoke about “you” and “you” becoming “us.” And he certainly could have been talking about our IPJC community when he spoke about beginning a revolution. Because that is exactly what we are about — working to create a revolution of justice in a world filled with inequity for so many, a revolution of peace in a world in which so many lives are threatened and discarded, a revolution of tenderness through which all people can be valued and respected. In this Annual Report, we share some of the things that hope and community have allowed us to achieve together: We have stood with our immigrant brothers and sisters, offering Know Your Rights trainings and legal clinics for DACA recipients and family preparedness. We have organized Catholics from across Western Washington to join in care for God’s creation, sharing knowledge, inspiration and best practices. We have spoken up in corporate boardrooms and shareholder meetings to urge gun manufacturers and retailers to address gun safety. We have continued to raise awareness about the scourge of human trafficking. None of this could have been done without all of “you” who make up the IPJC community. We are so grateful to all of our supporters and collaborators who join with us in the work of seeking justice. We invite you to continue your generous support of IPJC in whatever way you can: Continue to offer your prayers for this ministry of peace and justice. Make a donation of any size, or a regular pledge. Designate IPJC as your charity for employer matching, United Way and Amazon Smile. Share the IPJC story with your friends, colleagues, parishes or congregations. Where do you find hope? Share your story with us! Pope Francis is right – where there is an “us,” there begins a revolution. Let us keep the IPJC revolution going strong. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Events DACA Renewal Clinic
In partnership with Everett Community College, IPJC organized a team of bilingual immigration attorneys who gave free legal advice to 35 young adults on September 22. Twelve DACA renewals packets were completed and three participants who didn’t qualify for renewal found other forms of legal relief. All who qualified for renewal received funding.
Mass of Creation On September 30 Laudato Si’ Collaborators* joined Christians worldwide to celebrate the Season of Creation— September 1 to October 4—with a Mass at St. James Cathedral followed by lunch and a resource fair. Pope Francis instituted the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation in 2015 with the hope that we would renew our vocation to care for creation and thank God for the marvelous works entrusted to our care. * Laudato Si’ Collaborators: Archdiocese of Seattle Missions Office, Christ Our Hope Parish, Earth Ministry, IPJC, Maryknoll NW Mission Office, SU Center for Environmental Sustainability & Justice, SU Institute for Catholic Thought & Culture and St. James Cathedral
Contemplative Practices: A Path to Transformation
Anne Kertz Kernion, Creator of Cards by Anne, led us in exploring our Christian tradition and the latest neuroscience findings, and pondering how the practices of Mindfulness, Meditation and Gratitude can improve the quality of our lives.

Justice for Women is a grassroots movement for social justice and systemic change, especially for women living in poverty.
Justice Circles were held in Auburn • Burien • Cashmere • Colombia Everett • Lynnwood • New Brunswick, NJ • Olympia • Seattle
Everett
Cashmere
Circle participants who are residents of Cedar Creek Apartments took action for a safer and cleaner neighborhood. Concerned about finding used syringes near their apartments, they asked the Snohomish Health District (SHD) for help. The SHD sent out an investigator to evaluate the situation and to contact the property owner to resolve the issue. The women also requested that apartment residents have access to a SHD informational video on how to safely clean up used syringes.
Determined to make early childhood learning a priority, Circle participants urged their local centers to address the needs of Latino communities. Among their needs are: information in Spanish, culturally sensitive early childhood education programs, staff of color that “look like them and their children,” and hours past 6pm.
Colombia
This opioid epidemic is impacting Snohomish County. Everett has only 10% of the state’s population but has 20% of its drug-related deaths.
Seattle The Women’s Justice Circle joined domestic workers and organizations, such as Working Washington, to launch a campaign in December to create the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. This Bill regulates labor standards for nannies, house cleaners, gardeners and home health aides. In March, they gathered at Seattle City Hall to assemble a village of thousands of diapers and gloves to represent the nannies and house cleaners who work in homes across the city. The women also shared their stories with City Council members.
Circle participants of El Nevado in Manizales, Colombia commemorated International Women’s Day with a peaceful march in their neighborhood to raise awareness and pay tribute to Colombian Women leaders who have struggled for women’s rights. At the march’s destination, the women gathered around a mandala that they had created, read poems, prayed, celebrated strong local women leaders and designed strategies to address the issues of unemployment and the lack of economic opportunities for women.
Washington Coalition to Eliminate Farmworker Sexual Harassment In Washington, agriculture is a $49 billion industry with approximately 160,000 farmworkers at peak times of the year. Women may represent as much as 1/3 of Washington’s farm workforce and it is estimated that 75-80% of women employed in the agricultural industry are victims of workplace sexual harassment (WSH). The Coalition’s mission is to eliminate farmworker sexual harassment through media attention, grassroots education and policy action with multiple stakeholders including farmworkers, advocates, community leaders and concerned communities. Paula Zambrano & Giselle Cárcamo co-chair the Farmworker Empowerment Committee. 6 Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center

Companies Respond to Gun Safety Faith based shareholders, alarmed by escalating gun violence in the U.S and led by NWCRI and Catholic Health Initiatives, began addressing gun safety two years ago by purchasing stock in gun manufacturers and retailers, and writing to Sturm Ruger, American Outdoor Brands and Dick’s sporting goods requesting dialogue and filing shareholder resolutions. 69% of Sturm Ruger shareholders supported the proposal asking the Company to report on its gun safety measures. In response to the vote, CEO Chris Killoy said: “The proposal requires Ruger to prepare a report. That’s it: a report…What the proposal does not and cannot do is force us to change our business, which is lawful and constitutionally protected.” Shareholders are collaborating with investors, financial institutions and corporations to make our schools, homes, streets and communities safe. Convinced that gun manufacturers must be a critical player in the solution to gun violence, we will continue to make every effort to engage them.
A resolution asking for a report on gun safety measures will be voted on in September. The Dick’s Sporting Goods resolution requesting a report on actions taken on the Sandy Hook Principles resulted in a dialogue with senior management, including CEO Ed Stack. After learning that the retailer maintains high standards in its firearm sales and inventory practices; performs background checks and gun safety education at point of sale; does not sell firearm accessories that increase lethality; and encourages gun safety, we withdrew our resolution. After the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, CEO Stack said “We need to do something.” He announced that Dick’s would: Stop selling assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines Raise the age to purchase a firearm to 21 Retain lobbyists to urge lawmakers to take action on gun safety 2017-2018 Annual Report & Appeal for Support 7

New Monasticism The topic of this issue of A Matter of Spirit is the “New Monasticism.” What do you think of when you hear the word “monastic?” Do you picture a solitary monk in a hermitage far from town? Do you think of a medieval community reciting prayers in Latin? Or do you think of a group of millennials living and working together today? Each of these, and more, are expressions of the monastic impulse, a desire to connect deeply to a life of prayer and service in community with others. In this issue, we explore various ways in which the monastic call is being lived out today. Christine Valters Paintner looks at ways of living monasticism in everyday life. Sister Laura Swan gives us a historical overview, and helps to connect traditional monasticism to some of its contemporary expressions. Rory McEntee explores the new monasticism as an orientation in life, and explores some of its key characteristics. Rick Samyn discusses how the monastic way of life leads to a life of service to others, and Gus Labayan brings a young adult perspective. John Marquez and Donna Clifford each tell their own stories, one as a former monk and one as a lay associate.

Living Monasticism
By Christine Valters Paintner
Over the last twenty years there has been a great renewal of interest in the monastic life, but this time from those who find themselves wanting to live outside the walls of the cloister. It was this desire that led me fifteen years ago to become a Benedictine oblate. Becoming an oblate means making a commitment to live out the Benedictine charism in daily life, at work, in a marriage and family, and in all the other ways ordinary people interact with the world on a daily basis. In our community we meet regularly with one another to support each other in living out values of stability, obedience, conversion, hospitality, humility, silence and more. I am drawn to the monastic way because it offers me a framework for a way to live richly, to realign my priorities so that generosity and love are at the heart of all I do rather than trying to make more money or become productive or successful. People are drawn to become a witness to an alternative way of being to what the culture deems important. This requires community support,
journeying with others who are also struggling against busyness, debt and divisiveness. The root of the word monk is monachos, which means single-hearted. To become a monk in the world means to keep one’s focus on the love at the heart of everything. This is available to all of us, regardless of whether we live celibate and cloistered, partnered and raising a family or employed in business. The three main sources I draw upon to sustain me in this path are the Rule of Benedict, written in the fifth century in Italy, the wisdom of the desert mothers and fathers written as short sayings and stories in the second to third centuries in Egypt and Syria, and the witness of the Celtic monks in the early middle ages, especially in Ireland where I now live.
