Rep. Jillian Gilchrest on the need for an #EquityAgenda: "Our current fiscal policies have created CT's working poor. That will continue to happen unless we do something. It's tone deaf and an insult to our residents to say that CT is on good fiscal footing." #FundOurFutureCT
Jennifer Graves, special education teacher, mom & member of @aftunion.bsky.social on need for #EquityAgenda: "Even though [my son's] school wanted him to succeed, they could not afford to do more. ZIP codes must no longer determine educational opportunities." #FundOurFutureCT
Meriam Robinson, nursing home worker on the need for an #EquityAgenda: "The reality is the low pay makes it hard to attract and retain staff. I often work 16-hour shifts because there simply isn’t enough staff. My coworkers and I are burned out, mentally and physically." #FundOurFutureCT
SEIU District 1199NE President Rob Baril on #EquityAgenda: "Our unity is our one source of strength. We want bold investments that avoid a race to the bottom. Together we are a movement that is unstoppable and that is fighting for a CT For All" #FundOurFutureCT @seiu.org
