Weakening Head Start won’t solve our child care crisis. It risks making it worse. 📞 Contact your members of Congress and urge them to call on the HHS to rescind these proposed changes. Our children, families, and early childhood educators deserve investment, not rollbacks.

Wealth inequality isn't only about who has more. It's about whose wealth gets protected by policy. Swipe through to see how #CT's estate tax quietly shifted to shield more of the state's largest fortunes, and why that matters for everyone else's tax bill.

#CT is owed nearly $3 billion in unpaid taxes (the state's tax gap). Recovering even a fraction of CT's tax gap could protect working families from the federal cuts coming our way. The math is straightforward. The political will is the question.

America's promise was never survival of the richest. It's building something great together: good schools, stronger communities, and care when we need it. A tax system that works for all of us funds all of that. #WeAreTheAmericanStory, and we still get to write what comes next.

#WeAreTheAmericanStory, and #CT is no exception to it. 250 years of this country were built on the idea that change rises from the bottom up. A fair tax code, one where everyone contributes their share, is how we fund the Connecticut we've always been building toward.

The IRS is phasing out paper checks, and for families without a bank account or direct deposit set up, that could mean waiting up to six weeks longer for a refund. However, there are resources available to help. Your refund is yours. Don't let a paperwork barrier get in the way.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) changed the federal child tax credit. While Congress increased the credit, fewer children & families will receive it. In #CT, approximately 22% of children (151,000) under 17 years of age will NOW be left out of the full $2,200 #CTC.
