Joint Religious Legislative Coalition/JRERF

The Joint Religious Legislative Coalition is 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 as it was at our founding.

As people of faith, our coalition finds common ground across faith traditions in spite of our differences, and advocate for shared causes as a multi faith voice at the Minnesota state Capitol.

With a legislature remaining sharply divided into 2026, JRLC’s unique, non-partisan, interfaith voice gives us access to legislators on both sides of the aisle that other peer organizations do not have.

To better define and focus our advocacy into the future, JRLC has drawn from the best of our faith traditions and has identified the following Policy Pillars:

• Protection of Basic Human Dignity
• Safeguarding/Promoting Family Economic Security and Wellbeing
• Fostering Responsible Participation in Public Life 

Based on these issue areas, we are in the process of finalizing an agenda for 2026 that supports our neighbors who are facing difficult economic times. In addition, our 2026 Day on the Hill will be held on March 9th, so please join us!

Thank you for considering a gift, and we welcome your support!
