Election integrity and our democracy are at risk in November; the safety, security, and integrity of our election demand expedited results wherever possible. In Connecticut, this means expediting the processing of absentee ballots. Before the end of the week, please contact the Co-chairs of the GAE committee, your own legislators, and your town's highest elected official.

No one should have to choose between voting safely and their health. Please contact your Connecticut Legislators today and urge them to remove all barriers to the use of the absentee ballot by eligible voters in November. *UPDATE* The CT State House of Representatives passed the “no excuse” absentee voting bill for the November Election. The vote on July 23rd on H.B. 6002 was 144-2. The CT State Senate is scheduled to consider and vote on the bill on Tuesday, July 28th.

Contact your CT legislators and tell them that the Legislature needs to extend Safe Voting during the August 11 Primary and the November 3rd, 2020 General Election by legislative action.

Now is the time for Congress to step up and pass common-sense gun violence prevention reforms, such as universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and banning assault weapons.

Tell your Senators to pass the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and take a stand against the epidemic of gun violence.
