Julianne Moore Instagram – Today’s #WomanCrushWednesday goes to Rev. Ingrid Rasmussen, lead pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, who is a remarkably powerful voice for faith-rooted action to end gun violence.
In the two months since the devastating mass shooting at Annunciation Church School in Minneapolis, Rev. Rasmussen has been a steadfast advocate for peace, moral leadership, and public safety rooted in compassion. This month, she helped lead seven days of prayer and action, where faith leaders from across the state gathered daily on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol to pray for victims of gun violence and call for change.
But she didn’t stop there: Rev. Rasmussen supported the creation of a letter urging Governor Walz and Minnesota lawmakers to call a special legislative session to ban assault weapons and take meaningful action on gun safety. The letter is now signed by more than 1,000 leaders of all faith traditions across Minnesota.
As she writes, “Faith compels us to do more than pray, it calls us to act.” @ingcaras, thank you for demonstrating the moral courage to make a safer, more peaceful world. #WCW | Posted on 22/Oct/2025 23:12:39
