The multi-faith organization Isaiah has worked for decades in Minnesota to bring together people of faith and help them translate their beliefs into concrete actions.

Co-executive director Janae Bates Imari says Isaiah once again began mustering the faithful after the killing of Renee Macklin Good last week.

Isaiah helped lead faith communities' response to the murder of George Floyd and worked with Minnesota politicians to pass progressive legislation, including paid family and medical leave.
