#CT is one of the wealthiest states in the nation—and one of the most unequal. As the article puts it, “with great wealth and desperate struggle often coexisting only minutes away from each other, inequality can feel like a defining part of life in Connecticut.” But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can fund the future we want and close the economic divide with responsible tax reform measures. https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/connecticut-inequality-statistics-poverty-wealth-20246089.php (fb)

Tomorrow in #Hartford: Join us for a community conversation about the future of Connecticut’s budget—and the barriers standing in the way of progress. We’ll unpack how outdated fiscal controls are blocking investments in care, education, and opportunity—and what it will take to build a budget that works for everyone. In partnership with Greater Hartford Legal Aid, Inc., Colectivo de Defensa de Hartford / Hartford Deportation Defense, Make the Road CT, She Leads Justice, and Capitol Child Development Center. 📝 RSVP for this still and all upcoming events at bit.ly/ctvoices-roadshow #CTVoicesRoadshow #CTBudget #PoliciesForThePeople (fb)
