News from Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul
Standing in Solidarity with Our Community
We at Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul are heartbroken and outraged by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. We stand in solidarity with our neighbors, guests, and clients who are living in a community where a pandemic and the murder of Mr. Floyd have laid bare stark educational, economic and health disparities.
Bringing Faith to Life
Our Bringing Faith to Life breakfast fundraiser is a yearly event where we come together to support our interfaith work to build stability and economic mobility. This year, the event will be held online the morning of November 12 at 8 am. We promise a powerful and engaging short program to help you start your day feeling inspired and hopeful.
Six Degrees of Segregation
Dr. Yohuru Williams, Distinguished University Chair and Professor and the founding director of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas, met with Interfaith Action volunteers and clergy to explore the history of racial inequality in America from the end of the Civil War through the murder of George Floyd through the lens of what he calls the “Six Degrees of Segregation.”
