Issue Papers
We research and publish Issue Papers on pressing social justice issues in Minnesota. We explore interfaith religious principles and expert policy analysis. We make recommendations to the citizens of Minnesota and the State Legislature. Right now we are working on a new paper on health care. Issue papers are posted here . 

Advocacy
JRLC operates two influential advocacy networks:

• The JRLC Legislative Network involves over 8,000 faithful citizen/volunteers who act upon timely action alerts and issue briefings, and organize activities to shape public policy.
• JRLC's Interfaith Children's Advocacy Network (iCAN) is a passionate, faithful network of over 400 Key Advocates who speak out on behalf of children experiencing poverty or abuse.

On March 25, 2010 we will convene our Day on the Hill conference at RiverCentre and the State Capitol. Participants are briefed on social justice issues and then visit members of the legislature. In 2008 over 800 people from 64 of Minnesota's 67 senate districts participated.

Organizing for Social Justice
We conduct action-oriented forums, workshops, and institutes which focus on faith and citizenship. We tap into deeply held religious principles and organize faithful citizens across Minnesota to build civic capacity for our advocacy work and for a healthier democracy. In election years, we organize non-partisan voter registration and turnout efforts.
