There are many days left in the year to keep standing up and letting your voice be heard - making appearances at City Council meetings, Board of Education meetings, Planning and Zoning, Housing meetings, the Hartford Capitol and Legislative Office Building - all the places where there is still policy and laws that can be changed in regards to inequality, inequities and injustice.
Have no fear to show up and speak up to change what's old to new.

|
|
|
I was so happy as a veteran and the Co-Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Military Affairs to attend the Ribbon Cutting event at the Eastern CT Veterans Community Center in Willimantic. The turnout was amazing, and to see first-hand how they invest in educating and helping our veterans to understand available assistance and benefits was great.

Recovery for All Press Conference
|
|
|
It was great to see so many people come out and support Recovery For All, our plan to introduce an "Equity Agenda" to support all Connecticut residents. It is well past time that we take a look at the inequities in our state and start to hold the millionaires and billionaires responsible for more to benefit us all.
