A broad-based zoning reform movement is gathering momentum in Connecticut, as racial justice activists step up their efforts to break down barriers to affordable housing and economic opportunity at a time of national awakening around such issues.
DesegregateCT, an all-volunteer organization founded by Sara C.

And for the Democratic state legislators who won re-election after making that pledge the promise is something they’d like to forget.
