The National Coalition of American Nuns (NCAN), founded in 1969, is a progressive Catholic organization that advocates for justice, equality, and reform within both the Church and society. Its mission is centered on advancing women’s rights, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and gender equality, often speaking out against restrictive traditions and outdated doctrines within the Catholic hierarchy.
Over the decades, NCAN has been a bold and consistent voice for change, most notably through its 1972 “Declaration of Independence for Women.” With a legacy of public advocacy, education, and activism, NCAN continues to promote human dignity, social justice, and systemic reform, inspiring progressive movements within faith communities and beyond.
