Almighty God, who created us in your image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

  How We Can Advocate for Social Justice with the JRLC

The JRLC (Joint Religious Legislative Coalition) is an interfaith advocacy group for social justice in Minnesota, authorized and governed by the Minnesota Catholic Conference, the Minnesota Council of Churches, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, and the Islamic Center of Minnesota. Social justice causes advocated by the JRLC are ones that all four of these organizations have agreed are critical for upholding the God-given dignity and worth of each person.
