WORKING TOGETHER FOR A JUST MINNESOTA
People of faith are compelled to seek justice. Interfaith Action invites faith leaders to a series of compelling conversations with Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety John Harrington about creating a better system of public safety and policing in Minnesota.
We will walk through real-life scenarios that police officers face on the job. What do we want our public safety officers to do in these situations? We’ll ask clergy and their congregations to respond as well. Our work together will culminate in a report of the collective feedback.
Is your faith community interested in participating?
