GREAT news: S.B. 1 just passed the House! This bill is a transformative step toward making quality child care affordable for all families. Our statement: hubs.li/Q03q3xl60

Governor Ned Lamont today delivered his budget address to a joint session of the Connecticut General Assembly. The following is a reaction from Garth Harries, president and CEO of The Connecticut Project Action Fund: tcpactionfund.org/blog/react…

People will be hurt by the Trump Administration’s financial chaos, especially working families. State leaders need to announce a clear plan now to mitigate the potential harm to Connecticut families. ctinsider.com/opinion/articl…

But if Connecticut is going to be a place of opportunity and affordability, we also have to responsibly, thoughtfully modify the fiscal rules. (2/2)

Affordability and opportunity should be CT values, yes. Gov. Lamont is right to call for more affordable child care, highlight the EITC, and point out the squeeze working and middle class families are feeling. (1/2)

Yes. Whether we're talking about housing access, responsibly modifying the fiscal rules, expanding absentee voting, or the cost of living, working class and middle class people need action. theday.com/news/689608/less-…

Connecticut needs to thoughtfully, responsibly, and transparently amend the fiscal rules. ctmirror.org/2025/01/02/ct-2…

"Responsible, thoughtful, and evidence-based fiscal rules will ensure that state government works for everyone, especially working class people." darientimes.com/opinion/arti…

We’re proud to support this and other innovative solutions that make child care more available, affordable, and accessible for all. newhavenindependent.org/arti…

Working people are facing a cost of living crisis, and federal relief money is running out. CT must thoughtfully modify the fiscal rules to make them fiscally responsible, which means paying down debt AND investing in critical programs and services. tcpactionfund.org/blog/repor…

We’ve been given a false choice between paying debt and giving taxpayers relief through important programs and services. We believe the state can and should do both, and this report lays out data-driven options for doing so.

Connecticut's cost of living crisis is real. Working people are struggling, and that's going to get harder if our state doesn't address the looming fiscal cliff and help families afford the costs of housing, childcare, and other everyday essentials.

The State of CT has tens of thousands of families that can’t afford healthcare, daycare, food, or a college education. Having a strong pension fund is a good thing, but investing in our families is just as important. The State can and should do both.

It’s going to take sustained state investment in childcare and innovative solutions to solve CT’s childcare crisis. That’s why we’re proud to advocate for CT to invest in kids and families and to support childcare incubators across the state.

Translation: Lamont is unwilling to strike a balanced budget that works for our past, present, and future. We need a budget that invests in services to help people today and pays down long term debt.

"We look forward to working with the legislature to ensure absentee voting is an option for every voter as soon as possible." (3/4)

"Between turning out in huge numbers for early voting and passing the absentee voting question, Connecticut voters have shown that we are ready for a modern voting system..." (2/4)

“Absentee voting is a way for every voter, especially working people, to exercise their civic power. Today, Connecticut voters have sent a strong, definitive message:we want a safe, accessible democracy where every voter can make their voice heard..."(1/4) tcpactionfund.org/blog/ct-vo…
