Before Friday, urge your legislators to do everything they can to ensure that the Connecticut Voting Rights Act (CTVRA) stays in the budget. The CTVRA is the nation’s most comprehensive state-level voting rights act. Yet, Connecticut voters face persistent barriers to equal participation for voters of color and people whose first language isn’t English. To remain the national leader and implement the CTVRA, Connecticut must adequately fund its protections in the 2025 biennial budget.

April 22 updates on the SAVE Act, President Trump's Executive Order, and Funding for Connecticut's Elections. Connecticut voters can take action by 1) mobilizing friends in other states to urge Senators to vote no on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) Act, and 2) pushing for Connecticut legislators to fund our elections and protect and expand voter access.

H.B. 7212, an Act Concerning the Trust Act, represents an important step in protecting Connecticut’s immigrant communities, but it does not fully address the breadth of challenges our immigrant community members are facing. Submit testimony ahead of the March 19 Public Hearing in support of strengthening the Trust Act.

Voters deserve clear information when asked to vote on major changes in their town or city government. Please join us in submitting written testimony before March 7 in favor of Raised House Bill 7125.
