Today is the day to craft hope!

Join Mikono Refugee Craft Shop and America Media this #GivingTuesday as we help craft hope for refugees. Every dollar raised will be split evenly between America and Mikono Refugee Craft Shop in Nairobi—a ministry of the Jesuit Refugee Service.

For more than 25 years, Mikono has not only provided the resources, tools and training refugees need to make a living wage but has given them the dignity of work while expressing some of the cultural heritage of their home countries. This is the perfect opportunity to support two Jesuit ministries, now more than ever.

Here’s how you can participate in this campaign of hope:

  • Make your gift today at americamagazine.org/givingtuesday.
  • Share this donate link with your friends and family, encouraging them to give.
  • Like and share our content—videos, social media posts, emails and donation link—to spread the word about Mikono and America.
  • To offer a matching gift, or to give over the phone, contact James Cappabianca, VP for Advancement, at 917.885.7227 or via email at jcappabianca@americamedia.org.

We encourage you to give what you can today for this worthy cause. Thank you for being loyal readers and benefactors of America, and this year, supporters of our brothers and sisters in Nairobi.

Asante sana!

Rev. Matthew Malone, S.J.
President & Editor in Chief

P.S. It is easy to make your gift at americamagazine.org/givingtuesday. Every gift counts!

A Reflection for Tuesday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time, by Michael SImone, S.J.

Do Catholic hospitals have to choose between mission and the market?

I would argue for two axioms. First, Christian mission induces migration, and, conversely, migration fulfills Christian mission. Second, there is a reciprocal cause-and-effect relationship between Christian mission and migration.

A marker in Indianapolis describes the history of a 1907 Indiana eugenics law
Of the many things that the history of eugenics should teach modern society, two stand out in this discussion. First, not all questions are good questions. Second, statistics can be warped to tell you pretty much anything you want.
