Join us for a Power Hour to demand that Connecticut takes action and protects our immigrant community during the upcoming special session. We’ll provide the numbers to call and the script to use. All you need to do is show up!

For months, there’s been talk at the Capitol about lawmakers convening a special session. As legislators plan, Governor Lamont as well as House and Senate Leadership needs to hear from Connecticut voters: Our immigrant communities need to be safe in the place they call home.

As a nonpartisan, pro-democracy organization, the League is deeply alarmed by the ongoing ICE detentions, which too often fly in the face of due process and other fundamental rights. These actions undermine the democratic values of fairness, equal treatment under the law, and government transparency and accountability. The League supports due process for all persons, including the right to a fair hearing, right to counsel, right of appeal, and right to humane treatment.

During our Power Hour, we’ll make calls to Governor Lamont, House Leadership, and Senate Leadership with our demands:

1. Protect the Personal Information of our immigrant community and all CT residents. 
2. Protect Immigrants at State Courthouses.
3. Preserve HUSKY Medicaid for undocumented children and pregnant individuals.
4. Make our Communities Safer by Prohibiting the Use of State and Local Resources to Assist Immigration Enforcement, specifically by protecting Connecticut from Militarized Immigration Enforcement and Preventing Local Law Enforcement from Assisting ICE.
