No Kings II Hartford
2025-10-18 14:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | State Capitol Building, 210 Capitol Ave, Hartford, Connecticut, 06067, United States
From the organizer’s website:

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

“Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.”

Congressman Larson: Virtual Town Hall on the Government Shutdown
2025-10-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Connecticut
From the website of Congressman Larson:

**Register for the virtual town hall here**

Dear Friends,

I will be hosting a virtual town hall on Thursday, October 9th at 6:00 PM to discuss the ongoing government shutdown and how my office can assist you during this uncertain time. You can register to attend HERE and submit any questions you may have HERE.

This shutdown began after the Senate rejected a government funding plan last week. Democrats in the House and Senate came together to support an effort to keep government open, reverse health care cuts President Trump signed into law, and extend health care tax credits that protect families from rising premiums.

Leading up to the shutdown, President Trump encouraged Republicans in Congress to ‘not even bother’ negotiating. Speaker Johnson ended up canceling votes for the week – leaving no opportunity to come to an agreement.

I will keep working to re-open government and come to an agreement to protect access to health care and lower costs. I look forward to discussing these important issues with you. I hope to have you on the line.

To submit a question in advance, CLICK HERE.

Register to attend HERE.

My office has also prepared a web page with Frequently Asked Questions about the shutdown. You can always contact us at 860-278-8888.

Virtual Town Hall Via Zoom, register HERE Thursday, October 9th at 6:00 PM If the Zoom webinar reaches capacity, you will be redirected to a livestream.

John Larson Telephone Town Hall
2025-06-17 08:00 - 17:00 | Connecticut
From the Offlce of John Larson:

Dear Friends,

I will be hosting a telephone town hall Wednesday, June 18th, at 5:00 PM. You can register for the event HERE.

House Republicans voted to pass President Trump’s bill to defund PBS and NPR. This could grind PBS Kids programming to a halt and shutter local affiliates across the country. I voted no and will continue to fight to protect public media.

As I continue to fight to enhance Social Security, I am also working to keep your private information safe. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled to allow Elon Musk’s ‘DOGE’ access to sensitive information at the Social Security Administration, including Social Security numbers, income histories, and medical records. I introduced legislation to stop this breach of privacy.

Additionally, last month, House Republicans voted to pass their tax plan by one vote – a bill that cuts Medicaid and SNAP nutrition benefits for millions of Americans and could lead to $500 billion in cuts to Medicare in order to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefitthe wealthy.

It also does not include President Trump’s promise to stop taxing Social Security. Under their plan, 24 million Americans will still pay taxes on their benefits. I opposed these devastating cuts and unfulfilled promises and am focused on not only protecting but strengthening programs like Medicare and Social Security.

As your representative, I want to hear from you. I look forward to discussing these issues and more and answering some of your questions on Wednesday.

You can register for the telephone town hall HERE.

Telephone Town Hall with Rep. John B. Larson Wednesday, June 18th at 5:00 PM

No Kings Protest - Middletown
2025-06-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Middletown City Hall, 245 deKoven Drive,, Middletown, Connecticut, United States
From No Kings:

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

About this event

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.
