The Working for Racial Justice Group is calling all members of First Church to put our convictions into action and speak truth to power at this time of crisis in our community. The Connecticut State Legislature will meet in a special session to address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as the recent uprisings against white supremacy and police brutality. CONECT, a group including many local churches that share our values, has asked us to contact our state legislators and Gov. Lamont to make sure that our moral priorities as communities of faith are being raised up, so that the legislature will make decisions that do justice to our most vulnerable neighbors. Please use the link here to sign up for a topic to write a letter or make a phone call about. Your voice is necessary and important!"
