LWVCT has proposed a bill to create a Task Force to Study Redistricting in Connecticut. Contact the GAE Committee today and urge them to introduce this bill before the February 25 deadline! Despite our advocacy calling for increased transparency, public involvement, and nonpartisanship in the redistricting process, 2021 redistricting was once again completed behind closed doors. We can't go back, but we can take steps now to make sure we don't repeat these mistakes. You can help!

The time has come for voting rights legislation to move forward in Congress. New legislation, passed by the US House, will allow the US Senate to debate voting rights for the first time. The new legislation, HR 5746, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act will ensure that voters can safely and freely cast their ballots, stop partisan gerrymandering, limit the influence of dark money in politics, and hold elected officials and our institutions accountable.

Senators from both sides of the aisle need to come together to pass strong legislation to end the plague of gun violence in our country! Contact your senators NOW and ask them to pass legislation and save Americans from the terror of gun violence.

Write or call both Senator Blumenthal and Senator Murphy, thank them for their efforts so far, and tell them: "It doesn’t matter if we have bridges and budgets if our democracy fails: keep the Senate focused on the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!"
