| Dearly Beloved Neighbor,
I hope this correspondence finds you well. I wanted to pass along some information and updates I think will be beneficial to you. First, as we celebrate Women's History Month, there is an awesome event coming up soon that focuses on women's leadership in the community and government! Please see below. |
|
| Please join the Newhallville-Hamden Strong Committee in celebration of Phases 1 and 2 in the Hubert Campus Center's Behan Community Room at Albertus Magnus College on Thursday, March 14th at 6 p.m. There will be food music and an update on Phase 3. |
|
| Phase 1 Occurred in February 2022, when two communities came together for a common cause movement and birthed a grassroots organization called, “Newhallville and Hamden Strong.”
Phase 2 Happened from 2022-2024. “Newhallville and Hamden Strong” mobilized and organized. Then, the organization took to the streets and took action. It conducted community meetings and met with local and state elected officials and various other stakeholders. Please join us on Thursday, March 14th at 6 p.m. to see what's next! I hope you can make it! |
|
| I would like to thank the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity (CWCSEO), the YWCA Hartford Region, and the many others who joined us last week at the Legislative Office Building for an enlightening discussion entitled "Black Women's Health: Mental and Maternal Health."
The discussion was eye-opening and shed light on the mental and maternal health of Black women, to raise awareness, educate the community, and address health-related issues impacting Black women and girls. |

I hope you can join me and many others for a roundtable discussion on the importance of CT Paid Leave to women in Connecticut, featuring the stories of advocates, small business owners, and women who have utilized the program to
welcome a new child or to care for themselves or a loved one.
The event is Friday, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 2A of the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Ave., Hartford.
Speakers include me, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, Rosemary Lopez, Women’s Legislative Policy Analyst, CWCSEO, Erin Choquette, CEO, CT Paid Leave Authority, Nija Phelps, Kelly McSergi, Laurie Surprenant, Leaps and Bones, Janée Woods Weber, Executive Director, She Leads Justice. |
