Since President Trump took office, we have been witnessing an egregious abuse of power, and we have all experienced the harm that has been trickling down into our communities from the administration's authoritarian agenda. And we are getting ready to mobilize. We’ll be out in the streets on March 28th with communities across the country to condemn President Trump’s escalating abuses of power. In Connecticut, we'll be in several places across the state, and we're asking you to join us. Namely, we're asking you to join us in New Haven, Hartford, and Stamford if you can. If you want to join this movement in other areas of the state, find an action closer to you here. We also want you to feel ready to hit the streets with us.

We're bringing you live updates from our efforts during the legislative session.

So, join us on Wednesday, April 15th at 6 p.m. ET to discuss how the legislative session has unfolded so far, what we plan to do with the remaining time, and how you can get involved. You can RSVP to join us for this office hour here.
