Legislators need to hear from you about the crucial role that revenues play in protecting vital services to our state residents. Please join us for Better Choices for Connecticut Lobby Day and meet with your legislators and ask them to support progressive tax increases. Without revenues in the mix, there will be no choice but to decimate social services, education, public safety, community development, transportation, and many other things we care about and value in Connecticut.
Come at 10 a.m. to hear from legislators, pick up a Better Choices sticker and materials to help with your legislative visit. If you are a member of Better Choices for Connecticut, please make every effort to attend this important Lobby Day.
