Coming to a Town Near You in 2026!
Connecticut families are struggling. The stakes are only getting higher thanks to deep federal cuts and new, rigorous work requirements to access food assistance as well as similar hurdles to access health coverage and more on the horizon.
Fully funding our communities will require reforming outdated fiscal controls that limit how much our state can invest in. Please join us to learn more, including what we can do about it! In 2026 CT Voices for Children will visit Greenwich, Torrington, and Norwich. They will provide dinner, child care and translation services. We hope you’ll join us to be part of the conversation.

Keep Junk Health Plans Out of CT!
Tuesday 3/3, the Insurance and Real Estate Committee is holding a public hearing on HB 5378, which would open the door in CT to junk insurance plans.
These plans put patients and employers at risk. They circumvent the protection of the ACA and can result in higher premiums for people of color, women, and other groups. Having had a public hearing on Junk Plans means they can be added to any bill at any point through the end of this year’s session. Here are steps you can take today: More information is available here courtesy of the Health Justice Now Campaign. -Click here to submit testimony on-line. -Click here to sign up to testify in person or over Zoom on Tuesday. The deadline to sign up to testify in person or zoom is 3 pm Monday and the Public Hearing begins at 11 am Tuesday, March 4. Join us Monday 3/2 from 7-8 pm for a virtual testimony writing webinar on this and other priority bills for this session. Click here to register. Make no mistake - CT needs relief from Washington's cuts and from insurance greed. But the answer is for the state to ensure quality, affordable coverage and care for all our people - not to allow junk plans. |
CCAG has officially released the 2025 Legislative Scorecard!
The CCAG legislative scorecard shows how legislators voted on key bills in relation to CCAG’s issues and policy positions. It’s important to identify and support legislators who are working in support of our issues and values.
We need to know how lawmakers are voting - more so now than ever, as Connecticut and other states are called upon to protect our values in light of attacks from Washington and the Trump regime. Before you head to the capitol, make sure you check out the 2025 Legislative Scorecard, so you can identify which lawmakers will move Connecticut forward, which ones are standing in our way. |
