Today, March 9, our bill will get a public hearing in Connecticut's Public Health Committee! I will be testifying, along with a number of other activists and advocates who have been pushing this legislation forward for years. If you like, you can watch everyone testify live at the following link!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVar8mwBZBydf7-nD_beT3Q/live

The hearing starts at 9AM Eastern Standard Time and will cover a number of bills, including ours - HB5278. 

There is a lot of testimony, but unfortunately there are some healthcare providers and institutions still coming out against. You can read all of the testimony on the bill here: https://cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/CommDocTmyBillAllComm.asp?bill=HB-05278&doc_year=2022

This time tomorrow, I hope to be writing you with the news that our bill has made it out of committee and will move on to a full floor vote!

In love and solidarity,

Livia
