We’re making things happen!

Representative Donna Veach and I presented testimony to the Higher Education Committee at the Capital’s Legislative Office on March 5.  I went into detail as to why this bill proposal is so important. Some Ranking Members asked very poignant questions, and apologized for how my daughter and I were treated by CCSU.

You can see the recording of the hearing and my testimony at this link….

Our voices were heard and I am grateful for the support from Representative Veach and all members of the Higher Education Committee. Your signatures on the petition also played a part in the advancement of this bill proposal. Thank you.

Stay tuned!  We’re making things happen to give non-student victims of domestic violence on college campuses the rights they deserve!
