Social Justice Committee

sj_logo.gif


The Social Justice Committee looks at the systemic reasons for poverty in our community and works in collaboration with other churches and agencies to change the policies and programs that cause inequity. We partner with ISAIAH, a faith-based organization of 100 churches of various denominations, as well as the Office of Social Justice in the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis. Past campaigns include efforts to curb domestic violence; jobs for people of color on the construction of the Twins Stadium; community development that benefits the residents of the near north side; and various gatherings at the Capitol, County Government Center and City Hall to discuss issues with our elected officials.


For information on the Church's current teaching of social justice as well as past documents, please refer to the web site of the Office of Social Justice.
