Joint Religious Legislative Coalition: only one in the nation


Kate Knutson, assistant professor of Political Science at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, MN, is researching the work of religious advocacy groups in the political process. Jackie Schwerm, a student at Gustavus conducted an interview today with Joanne Tromiczak-Neid, Justice Coordinator (pictured) and Ginger K. Hedstrom, Justice Associate regarding the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC) that will be included in a book about the 40 year history of the JRLC which is the only organization of its kind in the nation bringing together people from the Jewish, Muslim, Catholic and Protestant faith traditions across Minnesota to engage in legislative advocacy.
