October 2014 – The Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois voted to affirm a corporate stance against Human Trafficking. The new corporate stance reads:
Building on our Consistent Ethic of Life stance that “we reverence the sacredness of life and address injustice in a spirit of respect, compassion, and solidarity,” we, the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois, oppose the trafficking of all persons, especially that of women and children. We will continue to educate ourselves. We will support those efforts that work toward ending this unconscionable abuse.”
