We view protecting the right to vote and the opportunity to exercise that right as paramount for our representative democracy to survive and thrive. Due to the restrictive language in the State Constitution, we need to amend the State Constitution language in order to update our election laws. Contact your state legislators today and ask them to co-sponsor the No-Excuse Absentee Voting (HJ 58) and Early Voting (HJ 59) Resolutions so that the voters can decide!

Over 100 years after (some) women gained the right to vote, women and nonbinary people are still not guaranteed equality under the law.

Tell your senators to support the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

The health of our democracy and its people depends on accurate data from the 2020 Census. This data helps determine representation and resource allocation for Connecticut and the entire country for the next 10 years. Yet, the Census Bureau staff have only 11 weeks to complete their work on Census files, due to COVID-19 delays and reporting deadlines. Congress has the power to grant an extension, but it will require a Senate majority. That's why our Senators need to hear from us.
