Dear NCR Reader,
My name is Olga Marina Segura and I joined the NCR team in September. As the opinion
editor, a large part of my job focuses on soliciting and editing articles from people
of color.
In the past month alone, I have edited stories by Melissa Cedillo, who called for
defunding ICE [[link removed]];
Valerie Jean Charles on why Pope Francis must speak out against the violence in
Haiti [[link removed]];
and Leticia Ochoa Adams on how her Catholic faith helped her following her son's
suicide [[link removed]].
And in the coming months, I will feature BIPOC writers on topics like abolition,
organizing, teaching, and ministering. I am looking forward to diving deeper into
these topics, but I can't do it without your support.
NCR's membership program is what helps my colleagues and me do our jobs. Now, more
than ever, voices like ours need to be heard. If you value diverse voices bringing
stories and opinions like the ones above, please join us during the Fall Forward
Member Drive [[link removed]].
I hope you consider joining the NCR family and becoming a member [[link removed]].

Sincerely,
Olga Segura
NCR Opinion Editor

P.S. I just finished my book Birth of A Movement: Black Lives Matter and the Catholic
Church -- look for it this spring from Orbis Books!
