To our long time supporters, partners, and friends,
We ask that you please take a couple moments to view the message below from Executive Director, Paula Mann-Agnew.
Please contact your CT state representatives to urge them to reinstate Discovering Amistad in the state budget.
Our organization brings the story of the Amistad to life through education, social justice programming, and community engagement. Its absence from the budget puts crucial historical and cultural education at risk.
🗣️ Your voice matters. Let your representatives know how important Discovering Amistad is to our communities and our state's commitment to truth and education. Feel free to use this sample letter
