John, the Connecticut Democratic Party will not sit silently while far-right Republicans scream invectives at the Governor, legislators, and local school board members.
CT Republicans spent weeks inciting parents across our state to attend Board of Education meetings to protest mask mandates intended to protect children and teachers, and now the far-right is organizing to take over Connecticut’s school boards in November.
We won’t stay silent while the far-right attacks municipal and legislative candidates — please chip in $20 before tonight’s fundraising deadline to help CT Dems stand up for our elected leaders and organize to win in the upcoming elections. We need to raise $5,000 before midnight to stay on track, so any amount helps:
DONATE $20
Sí se puede,
Jacqueline Kozin, CT Democratic Party Executive Director
Original Message from the CT Democratic Party:
John, when school boards meet they shouldn't have to call the police — but anti-mask and anti-vaccine Connecticut Republicans disagree.
Last week Governor Lamont had to be escorted out of a back-to-school event in Cheshire after being mobbed by angry anti-mask protestors, and police were called to a Fairfield Board of Education meeting due to disruptions from unmasked attendees.
Meanwhile, Republican activists fueled by right-wing media have secured school board election spots on November’s ballot in towns like Guilford, New Canaan, and Glastonbury — and this is just the beginning.
The next generation of Republicans is carrying on Trump’s legacy and they’ve brought the fight to the local level here in Connecticut. Can you donate $20 to help the CT Democratic Party counter these far-right Republicans across our state?
Disrupting meetings, violating rules, and promoting an agenda rooted in right-wing fear mongering — it's wrong, and it's a threat to the health of everyone in Connecticut.
But Connecticut Republicans don’t care about public safety: the CT GOP Chair recently said that Connecticut can "learn a lot from Tennessee,” home to one of the worst COVID outbreaks in the country.
The Trump wing of the GOP is organizing to take over Connecticut’s school boards in November, John. The Connecticut Democratic Party is focused on getting out the vote for Democrats across the state, and we need your help.
If you can, please chip in before August ends to help Connecticut Democrats protect our majorities in upcoming elections. Any amount that you give helps us turn out more voters.
Thanks for stepping up,
Connecticut Democrats
