Jan. 1 parade to celebrate ‘welcoming’ ordinances
On New Year’s Day, Lebanon’s “welcoming ordinance” goes into effect, joining similar policies in Hanover, Norwich and Hartford. All four municipalities will then have a policy that instructs local police not to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, in addition to prohibiting them from racial profiling.
The organizers and activists who worked to pass these policies are planning a celebration in the form of a vehicle parade to connect our municipalities in this time of physical distancing and to recognize that we are all one community.
