Student Testimonies from the March 19th, 2025, Student Press Conference and Hearing in Hartford, CT.

Join us in reading this collaborative publication of testimonies given by young people from across the state of Connecticut. On March 19, 2025, over 100 students from New Haven and New London organized a day of action, held a press conference, and testified in the Education Committee to demand equitable funding for their schools across CT. We put this publication forth in efforts to call attention to the very lives of the people impacted by Senate Bill SB 1511, an Act Concerning Disconnected Youth.

We extend the utmost gratitude to Connecticut for All and @nhps.studentreps for leading this powerful action!
