There is an intentional misinformation campaign being promulgated by a group called “Safe Streets CT.” This group is a front for a political strategy in Connecticut designed to roll back recent and successful reforms in youth and criminal justice and to unseat politicians who appear weak on crime. “Safe Streets CT” is using recent spikes in car thefts to allege a major rise in crime rates in Connecticut’s suburbs, linking without data, urban youth (code for black and brown children) to these thefts.  To learn more about this issue, view this video produced by GHIAA organizers and leaders.
