As our Co-Director @cgheilmann testified, voters are not the only victims when partisan operatives are allowed to circulate absentee ballot applications. It’s also the campaign workers who aren’t being trained on the laws! #protectdemocracy #ruleoflaw #removeabsenteeoperatives

Presenting Ganim The Magician! 🪄🎩 Every year, he “holds the line” on property taxes while Bridgeport has minimal economic growth! 📉 How does he do it??? By defunding education of course! #magicalthinking #budgetseason2025 #fundourschools

WAIT… WHAT??? 🤯 BPT City Council Reps are taking time reserved for THE PEOPLE? 🤬

This is the 2nd mtg in a row they’ve done this. Maybe they don’t like what the people have to say?

Come to City Hall on Mon, 3/17 at 6:30 to stand with us!#protectdemocracy #bridgeport #inthistogether

The party leaders quoted in this article - who are in favor of a Shelton resident serving in a Bridgeport leadership role - are completely out of touch with the anger on the ground about the state of our political system and our democracy.

Thank you Sen. Gadkar-Wilcox for standing with the voters of Bridgeport. We deserve a accountability and a functioning democracy. And we need our local elected officials who care about voting rights and fair elections to step up!

On Monday night, our Co-Director @cgheilmann tried to speak during a City Council public hearing. They used the police to shut her down… #joeganim #eneidamartinez #mariapereira #bridgeportcitycouncil #corruption #coverup #authoritarianism #inourownbackyard #bridgeport

Supervisory Assistant State's Attorney Michael DeJoseph said [Bridgeport City Councilwoman Eneida] Martinez was expected to testify to having the interior of the club cleaned up before police gained entry, thus explaining a relative lack of physical evidence.

A terrible thing happened in the Oval Office today when Pres Zelensky was confronted-dare we say ambushed-by Vance & then Trump.
PLEASE take 5 mins *now*. Call your Senators+your Rep, even though you’ll have to leave a voice message.
