Joint Religious Legislative Coalition/JRERF

When Minnesota's faith communities speak together, lawmakers hear a voice grounded not in partisanship, but in human dignity, family wellbeing, and the common good.

The Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC) brings Catholics, Protestants, Jews and other faiths together to find common ground — and turn shared values into public policy at the Minnesota Capitol. 

As the longest continuously operating multi-faith organization of its kind in the United States, our 54-year legacy stands as a testament to the power of multi-faith advocacy. Our Mission is just as important today as it was at our founding.

We need your support and partnership!

Here's what steady, interfaith advocacy delivered in 2026:

• $40 million for homelessness prevention and $100 million in Housing Infrastructure Bonds — both passed
• Held the line against online sports betting expansion and supported Minnesota's ban on unregulated prediction markets
• Built real momentum on food security, dignity for foster youth, gun violence prevention, and nonprofit security — work we're carrying into the 2027 session

Policy change rarely happens in a single moment. It takes research, trusted relationships, principled compromise, and the resolve to return session after session. Your gift gives JRLC that staying power.

Give to the Max on November 19 — or give early starting November 1. 

Every donation, large or small, helps turn common ground into public good.
