John,
We are four months into a second Trump term, and his administration has made one thing clear, this is a presidency powered by cruelty, not compassion; what’s best for billionaires, not working families.
Since Trump took office, nearly $10 million in federal funding for Connecticut schools and food pantries has been eliminated, affecting programs that help schools provide meals to our children.
While the Trump Administration slashes Head Start funding and cuts food assistance while tanking our economy and weakening the dollar, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of bad news.
But here’s the thing: Connecticut Democrats are fighting back, working to counteract these cuts and improve the lives of Connecticut families.
Our CT Democratic leaders have proposed a $300 million Universal Preschool Trust Fund to expand access to pre-K, aiming for universal preschool in Connecticut, and the state legislature is negotiating the state budget right now to meet the needs of working people.
Your support helps us elect Democrats to office, so they can represent their communities. Having someone in office who holds our values is the difference between families struggling, and families thriving.
