ISAIAH
ISAIAH is a collection of congregations of people of faith throughout Minnesota who have committed themselves to each other in order to build power for a worldview that prioritizes racial and economic justice. Members of ISAIAH believe they are called to play a powerful role in determining the future of our local communities, our state and our country and that it is time to reclaim our prophetic and public voice for racial and economic justice. ISAIAH is one of 60 affiliates of the Gamaliel Foundation, a national network of faith-based social justice organizations.
