BREAKING:🚨The Senate has approved legislation that will put an end to #prisongerrymandering, which counts prisoners as residents of the town where they are incarcerated, rather than the town where they live. This can affect a town's financial and political future.

Today, the Senate took a significant step toward eliminating gerrymandering in our legislative districts by voting to end the practice of counting incarcerated people in prison rather than in their home towns, for purposes of redistricting. (1/3)

GOOD NEWS! S.B. 753, a bill to abolish prison gerrymandering in our state, just passed the Senate (35-1) with bipartisan support. Now, it awaits action in the House. Prison gerrymandering is racist and undemocratic, and it must end.

With an overwhelming bipartisan vote, the Connecticut Senate has approved legislation to #EndPrisonGerrymandering for the first time ever! Now, the House must vote to send SB 753 to Governor Ned Lamont. CT cannot miss this historic opportunity to defend democracy & racial justice.
