The EITC petition drive was a smashing success, collecting 1300 signatures at Yale! Now, this Thursday, we're going to Hartford to let the governor and legislators that the people have spoken! We'll leave around 9:30 a.m. for the 11 o'clock press conference which will feature New Haven Mayor John DeStefano and Connecticut Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney. Interested? Contact Ben Shaffer for details.

If you want to start developing a plan for universal health care in Connecticut that will be our next lobbying project, this meeting is the place to be! We'll talk, brainstorm, and leave eager and determined to learn more!

See progressive students present innovative public policy solutions to a wide array of problems. Also, this event represents your third opportunity of the week to see Mayor DeStefano.
