At LEAN, our prayers go out to our siblings in Minneapolis, another community shaken by gun violence. Please read Bishop Jen Nagle’s letter and prayers to the Minneapolis Area Synod.

AB98 would have officially proclaimed April 10th as “Dolores Huerta Day” honoring a civil rights advocate and her lifelong fight for justice, dignity, and equality in the U.S.

Governor Lombardo vetoed it, dismissing the legacy of Dolores Huerta and the impact her work has had on the Latino community and beyond.

This bill will be back next session, because our history, our leaders, and our stories deserve to be recognized.

This protects immigrant families from being torn apart. LEAN is here to help congregations understand their rights and live out our call to love our neighbors.

Did you know that women must work well into the year to earn what men earned last year? Each group faces a different gap:

• Women: March 25
• Asian Women: April 7
• Moms: May 6
• LGBTQIA+: June 17
• Black Women: July 10
• Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Women: August 28
• Latina Women: October 8
• Disabled Women: October 23
• Native Women: November 18

Pay equity isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s an economic justice issue. Let’s keep pushing for fair wages for everyone

This is the time when legislators study issues, hold hearings, and prepare bills for the 2027 session.
At LEAN, we’re following interim committees closely—because the work of justice doesn’t wait for the full session. ✊
Stay tuned as we track issues impacting housing, healthcare, education, voting rights, and more.
