We have much to celebrate in 2023, such as making Connecticut a national leader in voting rights, defending Connecticut’s model Campaign Election Program (CEP), and advancing gun safety laws. Still, we have more to do in 2024: addressing the climate emergency and fighting for affordable housing & healthcare.
 

We worked with allied groups such as Safe Vote CT, NAACP, ACLU, Common Cause, CCAG, Conservation Voters of CT, Latino Justice, and met with legislators and state officials to press our arguments. See below for a complete report of our advocacy efforts this year.
