CT BBSU

The CT BBSU is designed to build capacity for state wide organizing, build power around youth priorities in the state of CT, co-create a shared language and training pipeline for youth organizing in the state of CT.

Step Up New London

We are dedicated to building an anti-racist, people-powered movement that holds ourselves and the community accountable in creating homes and schools where Black and Brown children and families are thriving.

Hearing Youth Voices

We run campaigns on issues that are important to our constituents- young people of color, many of whom are also working class, and/or immigrant, and/or LGBT, and/or undocumented. Thus far, our campaigns have focused on educational justice issues, especially issues of school pushout and the school to prison pipeline. 

Mutual Aid Hartford 

We are a community-run network of Hartford residents’ needs and contributions. When we say “mutual aid,” we mean that every member has the opportunity to give and to take, as needed, no questions asked. This is people helping people. We are action-driven and rooted in the belief that this is the only way we can survive capitalist society.

Colectivo Bambula

Colectivo Bámbula builds the capacity of Diaspora Ricans to embody liberation and drive transformative change. We envision communities confident in their skill and supported in their responsibility to disrupt that which seeks to isolate us and co-create systems rooted in connection, healing and abundance. 

Justice 4 Jayson

Our mission is to center those who have been harmed by police violence, while working together to resist police brutality and advance abolition in CT. 

FRESH New London

 FRESH New London builds momentum for food system change by connecting communities, with a focus on youth of New London. We work to create the conditions for everyone to access food with dignity and have control over their food access. We grow food as a way to reclaim land, highlight cultural relevance, inspire leadership, and incite change. 

Hartford Deportation Defense

We are an immigrant organization in Hartford CT, working alongside our neighbors to build a just and dignified future for our families and community.

People's Saturday School

Our mission is to build a team of facilitators, coaches, and mediators committed to cultivating safer, healthier, and more democratic culture within schools, organizations, and movements in Connecticut and beyond. We envision a more cooperative and sustainable future where we can live, learn, and work free from patterns of domination, exploitation, and burnout.

CT Tenant's Union

We are tenants fighting for better housing. CTTU sees these phenomena as inextricably linked: if housing is primarily a way for landlords and investors to get richer, tenants will be denied safe, stable, and affordable housing. We change this by organizing with our neighbors across the state. By building collective power, we can make landlords fulfill their existing legal obligations to us as renters

Children of Marsha P. Johnson

Established in 2023 as a sanctuary for queer youth organizing in Connecticut

Husky for Immigrants 

The HUSKY 4 Immigrants Coalition is fighting to ensure all CT residents can access healthcare - no matter their immigration status or age.

Vivan Las Autonomas

We envision a world free of violence towards women and children. We seek to create spaces for women to gather, discuss violence against women and create art as a way of storytelling and healing.
