Heeding the call to be Men and Women for and with Others and Contemplatives in Action, eight undergraduate students from Regis University in Denver, CO, walked onto the floor of the Colorado General Assembly (CGA), preparing not only to be introduced to state lawmakers but also to advocate for justice issues affecting Colorado communities.
