In February, Annunciation Catholic Church and School students and parents started the Minnesota legislative session with hope. Dozens in dark blue uniforms and hoodies bearing the Annunciation logo, shaped into a heart, circled in the State Capitol rotunda for a sing-along event. They drew smiles and tears with uplifting songs like Andra Day’s “Rise Up.” Throughout, volunteers read off lawmaker names, working through a list of representatives from every Minnesota district.
