As the legislative session is now in full swing, I wanted to remind you about resources you can use to stay involved. The resources below will help you stay updated on crucial developments, events, proposed policies, and key discussions as they happen in Hartford.



Here's how you can stay connected and actively participate:  

• Visit this website for information on how to testify on a bill at a public hearing.
• The non-partisan Office of Legislative Research (OLR) recently released the 2024 Major Issues Report. This comprehensive document highlights and summarizes key issues the legislature could take up during the upcoming session. 
• You can view the Connecticut General Assembly's upcoming events by checking out its schedule on the CGA official website. 
• Follow CT-N for live coverage of committee meetings, as well as House and Senate floor debates. 
• You can register to monitor any bill's journey as it goes through the legislative process. By signing up, you can enter the bill number and receive real-time updates. Stay informed with email notifications whenever there's a change in the bill's progress. 

Together, we can make a positive impact and ensure that our community's needs are represented. 

This week's focus is the 29th Connecticut Colored Infantry Regiment. The infantry regiment served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and is credited as being the first infantry to enter Richmond, VA when the city surrendered in the Siege of Petersburg.

In a time of immense peril and division in our country, the trailblazing 29th Connecticut Colored Infantry Regiment took a stand and fought for freedom, emancipation, and justice for all.
