Massachusetts just did universal free school meals. It’s now a matter of racial equity for CT to do it as well.

Economic difficulty and food insecurity rose in #Connecticut in 2022, and remained higher in 2023. The end of the 2021 expanded #ChildTaxCredit, and rising housing and food costs, help explain this trend. Economic insecurity is higher among women and LGBTQ+ adults. #genderequity
