Dear Neighbor,

The 2025 Legislative Session has begun and my colleagues and I have gotten to work on our committees. As session continues, I am eager to share the work we are doing and ways you can be involved.

 

As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary legacy of a leader whose vision of justice, equality, and nonviolent resistance transformed our nation and inspired the world. Dr. King's unwavering commitment to civil rights reminds us of the power of courage, compassion, and collective action to create meaningful change.

Let us honor his memory by recommitting ourselves to the pursuit of equity, inclusion, and unity in our communities. You're invited to join the Great Bristol Branch NAACP for a Scholarship Breakfast on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 8am, at Bristol Eastern High School. Tickets are $20 per adult and $10 per youth (10 and under). To purchase tickets please contact Patricia Bentley 860-637-3964/ patriciabentley82@gmail.com.
 
🚨 Warning: Unpaid Toll Text Scam Alert 🚨
 
I want to make sure all of you stay safe and informed! A new scam is circulating where fraudsters are sending text messages claiming you have an unpaid toll and asking for payment. Please DO NOT click any links or provide any personal information.
 
Here are some tips from the FBI:
⚠️If you receive one of these messages, file a complaint with the IC3, www.ic3.gov. Include where the number of the originating text came from, and the website from which the number was generated.
 
⚠️Delete any scam texts received.
 
⚠️If you clicked any link or provided your information, take efforts to secure your personal information and financial accounts. Dispute any unfamiliar charges.
⚠️Always verify any toll-related charges directly through official state websites or customer service.
 
Stay vigilant and share this message with your friends and family to help protect our community!
 
Enjoy your weekend!

Sincerely,

Mary Fortier
