GHIAA’s Current Action Campaigns

Just Cause Eviction Protections

  • GHIAA is supporting HB 6889, which would expand Just Cause eviction protections to tenants of all ages and disability statuses in CT.
  • A public hearing for this bill will be held on Feb. 18 at 10:30 am. Your voice is needed to testify in support of this legislation! Check out our Just Cause Testimony Guide for a fact sheet, testimony template, and step-by-step instructions.
  • If you missed our testimony training this week, you can check out the slides and recording, and contact us with any questions.

Fiscal Policy Reform

  • GHIAA is fighting to clear the roadblocks and establish state budget policies that invest the necessary resources in critical human needs and social infrastructure, and are truly fiscally responsible. Stay tuned for education sessions and more information about action coming soon.
  • Check out this CT Mirror coverage of a recent joint action between GHIAA, SEIU 1199, and Connecticut For All.

Combating Racial & Religious Hate

  • A multifaith, multiracial team of GHIAA leaders is crafting an initiative called “Broadening Understanding, Deepening Solidarity,” or BUDS for short. Our first offering will be a four-part series in Spring 2025, followed by issue-specific trainings later in the year on antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and racism.
  • Learn more about BUDS and register for the spring series here.

Municipal Housing Action Teams (HAT)

  • Our HAT leaders have convened in several towns across Greater Hartford, and are engaging in training and leadership development in order to be well-equipped to advocate for more affordable housing in their own communities. Trainings so far have included basics of organizing, power analysis, and affordable housing 101.
