Our Mission
The Connecticut Project brings together people, ideas, and resources to build opportunity.
Our Vision
We believe in a Connecticut where it’s possible for everyone to thrive. We envision a fair, thriving Connecticut where working class people from every race, gender, income, and geography can afford and access opportunity.
What We Do
We get things done. We identify, fight for, and build bold, lasting solutions that enable people to create secure futures instead of being stuck in broken systems. We bring people and partners together to fight for policies that hold our state accountable to working class people and improve their lives. We deliver real results that people feel.
Who We Are
The Connecticut Project consists of two independent, distinct, and separately funded and governed organizations: The Connecticut Project, a 501c3 public charity, and The Connecticut Project Action Fund, a 501c4 advocacy organization. This allows us the greatest flexibility in our work and enables us the best leverage to build opportunity with and for working class people in our state.
Our Values
Freedom
Every person, from every background and circumstance, should have the freedom to build a good life and be themselves.
Fairness
Everyone, from every background and circumstance, should have a fair chance to thrive, with fair access to child care, housing, democracy, financial freedom, and other essentials.
Hard Work
Our state should recognize the hard work of working class people by making Connecticut a place everyone can afford to call home.
Respect
Everyone in our diverse state should be treated with dignity, including by our government. Connecticut should respect the contributions of working class people – to our economy, our culture, and our state as a whole.
Community
By coming together as neighbors across our state, we can build a Connecticut where opportunity is real for everyone – in each of our 169 diverse communities, and in our whole state.
