Today is our second call-in day that kicks-off Week 1 of four-week campaign to fully fund community services. We ask that you, your staff, Board members, volunteers and people you serve call your local legislators (where you live AND where you work) right now!

CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS TODAY!

  • Click here to look up your State Representative and State Senator. Then, call the number for their caucus and ask to speak with them:
  • House Democrats:  (860) 240-8500
  • House Republicans: (860) 240-8700
  • Senate Democrats:  (860) 240-8600
  • Senate Republicans: (860) 240-8800

  • Please don't hang up, even if you're put on hold! If you get a voicemail, leave a message.

  • Tell the person you speak to:
  • Please appropriate $100 million of surplus dollars for community services to make up some of the ground lost after more than a decade of budget cuts. This year's state budget surplus presents a rare opportunity for Connecticut to invest in essential, quality services provided by community nonprofits that help people across the state every year. Thank you.

WHY NOW?

$2.65 billion is projected to end up in the Rainy Day Fund at the end of the fiscal year. If policymakers do not fully fund community nonprofits now, when will they?
