There are 1,300+ paraeducator vacancies due to low pay & poor benefits. Ultimately, it's the students who suffer. If the legislature was a student, they would immediately be put on an intervention plan – because they are desperately close to failing again ctnewsjunkie.com/2023/05/30/op-…

Care for the workers who care for us. ALL Connecticut workers deserve Paid Sick Days!

Republican tax cuts have cost us $10 trillion in revenue since 2001—tax cuts that are responsible for 57% of the increase in the debt as a share of the economy.

We know we can reduce the national debt & invest in a future where the top 1% pays their fair share of taxes.

STARTING NOW: SEIU 1199NE is announcing that over 1,700 group home and day program caregivers will be going on an indefinite #strike starting tomorrow at 6am. They're fighting for a living wage, affordable health care & retirement security. #1u #solidarity

This isn’t complicated.

The entire game for House Republicans is to gut programs for the poor and middle class in order to pay for tax cuts for their billionaire and corporate pals.

That’s why their are threatening default. Plain and simple.

Our Paraeducators need Governor Ned Lamont to act and #FundOurFutureCT . Our fiscal guardrails should not push hardworking people over the edge. 1300 vacancies and counting. #ParasEqualStudentSucess
