What would it look like if clergy across Minnesota—committed to justice, truth, and liberation—moved together to build power for our communities? How might our public and political arenas change if faith leaders like you stepped even more fully into your role as organizers, activating and developing people of faith to confront systems of injustice and create real, lasting change?

If these questions stir something in you, we invite you to apply for the 2025 Clergy Organizing Cohort. Applications are officially open, and we’re looking for clergy and faith leaders who are ready to take action in today’s political climate—leaders who believe that faith is not just about words but about power, movement, and transformation.

This is not just another leadership program. This is an opportunity to be part of something bigger—a statewide network of Christian and Muslim clergy who are committed to:

✅ Building teams and mobilizing people for racial and economic justice
✅ Developing the skills to lead bold, faith-rooted organizing efforts
✅ Challenging systems of oppression like racism, classism, and White Christian Nationalism
✅ Creating real political impact by shaping policies and shifting power
✅ Deepening your own faith and leadership alongside a dynamic, committed group of clergy

The program runs from June to December 2025, with a mix of in-person and virtual gatherings. Participants receive a $2,500 stipend for their commitment to the cohort.
