JaNaƩ Bates works in Minneapolis USA as a minister in the United Methodist Church. She is a member of Isaiah, a grouping of religious organisations from Christian, Muslim, and other faith backgrounds working for racial and economic justice for everyone in the state of Minnesota.
In this interview with Pat Coyle of Irish Jesuit Communications, JaNaƩ talks about her work with Isaiah. She describes the "the joy of being just" and not just doing justice even against the background of racial violence recently highlighted by the killing of George Floyd in her own city.
