I would be willing to send them seeds. But not food or money.

It's a compilation of bits and pieces of some of the more recent Papal Encynicals. It was put together by the USCCB, as a guide to help Catholics in the voters booth.
Some topics include the environment, unions, the global economy, etc.

I would but I am not sure how much I could sacrifice. I only get about $700 a month as it is from SSI.

Re: Willing to sacrifice to promote social justice worldwide?
I do already. Anyone who gives to the Church, Catholic charities or food pantries is already doing this.
