Advocacy:
Faith In Action
Lutherans Engaging in Advocacy Ministry New Jersey
Rooted in God’s covenant, LEAMNJ addresses the systemic causes of injustice and poverty in New Jersey through civic engagement, shaping public opinion, and advocating for public policies that will alleviate the suffering of all children of God and the care of God’s creation.
Our faith guides us in our understanding of the world we live in; it aids us in our decision-making; and it inspires us to work for justice. LEAMNJ seeks to equip all people of God, so that together we might respond with the gift of God’s blessing through public witness as we shape public opinion and policy.
Education and Action
We have worked for years to put together an ever-growing list of New Jersey resources for advocacy education and involvement.
Advocacy Summer School
Join us for an online workshop to learn about how to speak so others will listen. We will talk about how the words you use can help you to be an effective advocate, as well as review the NJ State government and the legislative process.
