In Connecticut policies that protect the lives of Black and Brown people tend to take decades to pass. Families, friends, allies demand better. We demand that the legislature PASS the PROTECT Act, SB 1059. 

This event will begin at 12:00 pm as part of an all day rally at the Connecticut State Capitol on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021.

The schedule will be as follows:

10:00 am — Arrive at the Capitol

12:00 pm — Press Conference and Rally

1:00 pm — Food Break

2:00 pm — Individual Advocacy

This event comes at a crucial moment for our campaign during the final days of the session — the legislature must vote on Senate Bill 1059, which will protect the lives of people who live and work in prison. To ensure everyone can join the event, we’ll be providing transportation vouchers for people who can bring three people to the event. We’ll also be providing free food and refreshments!

Please bring sunblock, chairs, and some water as we plan to camp out for the day!
