On June 30th from 2-3:15 we are hosting our 3rd annual No Pride In Prisons briefing at the State House. We will update the community on the current state of criminalization for LGBTQI+ people and PLWH and the work we are doing to stop it.

This is a major victory! Connecticut becomes the 21st state in the nation to enable individuals on parole to vote. Over 20 years of organizing to end voter disenfranchisement for people returning home from prison made this happen.
