    Hands Off! Connecticut Fights Back

    April 5 @ 3:00 pm 6:00 pm

    From Hands Off 2025:

    About this event

    Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Connecticut is fighting back!

    They’re taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

    🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨

    📍 Where: State Capitol Building, Hartford, CT 📅 When: 3pm, April 5, 2025

    This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

    A core principle behind all Hands Off! 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.

  • Lenten Gathering for Justice

    Lenten Gathering for Justice

    March 16 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am

    From the Racial Justice Committee at the Rocky Hil Congregational Church:

    “Please join us for a gathering in support of marginalized communities on Sunday, March 16 from 9-10 AM and with any luck continuing through Lent as part of our Lenten observance and commitment to justice.

    While we continue to financially support many marginalized groups, there is an urgent need for us to physically stand in the storm with members of our church and the community.

    This will be a peaceful gathering in support of the LGBTQ community, Black lives, Immigrants, and all those being targeted in our country. Please invite like-minded friends but keep in mind our message is one of support and we want to avoid specific political attacks in our messaging.
