Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
- Psalm 82:3

The Lutheran Public Policy Office of Washington State is one of the twenty State Public Policy Offices of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a partnership ministry of Lutheran Community Services Northwest, the three Washington synods of the ELCA, and the ELCA Division for Church in Society, we work to advocate on behalf of all God's creation, particularly those who are impoverished and marginalized.
