We have GREAT news for you and action to take. Spearheaded by the nonprofit nonpartisan CT Environmental Rights Amendment Alliance and the League of Women Voters, in partnership with Citizens' Climate Lobby and other orgs, the Green Rights Amendment is being proposed here in CT. The Green Rights Amendment would change the CT State Constitution. Per the press release:

"This amendment would put the right of the people to clean and healthy air, water, and soil, and a safe climate into the Declaration of Rights of the constitution, providing powerful protection of this right equivalent to that given to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and other fundamental human rights. The CT Environmental Rights Amendment Alliance, with over 40 organizational members, is advocating for a resolution to put this amendment on the ballot for a referendum of the people to move forward in the 2026 session of the CT General Assembly.

'In this time when environmental protections are being dismantled on the Federal level, it is more important than ever that we in Connecticut raise up the rights of all people in our state to a clean and healthy environment and a livable climate,' said Dr. Kimberly Stoner, Director of Advocacy for CT NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association of CT),and Coordinator of the CT Environmental Rights Amendment Alliance.

Please write your state representative and let them know you support this amendment to the CT Constitution.
