National Leader of the Movement for Green Amendments Speaking at Public Town Halls Across Connecticut on the CT Environmental Rights Amendment
January 23, 2026
- February 3, 5 pm: Buchanan Room, Mansfield Public Library, 54 Warrenville Road, Mansfield Center, CT
- February 10, 6:30 pm: 4th floor, Stamford Government Center, 888 Washington Boulevard, Stamford, CT
- February 11, 5:30 pm: DeKoven Center, 27 Washington St., Middletown, CT
All of these events are free and open to the public. Light food and refreshments will be provided. Photo identification will be required to enter the Stamford Government Center. Key legislators from each part of the state are invited.
These public events will present the basics of the CT Environmental Rights Amendment, a Green Amendment to the State Constitution of Connecticut that has been proposed in the CT General Assembly. This amendment would put the right of the people to clean and healthy air, water, soil, and a safe climate into the Declaration of Rights of the state constitution, providing powerful protection of this right equivalent to that given to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and other fundamental human rights. The CT Environmental Rights Amendment Alliance, with over 40 organizational members, is advocating for a resolution to put this amendment on the ballot for a referendum of the people to move forward in the 2026 session of the CT General Assembly.
“In this time when environmental protections are being dismantled on the Federal level, it is more important than ever that we in Connecticut raise up the rights of all people in our state to a clean and healthy environment and a livable climate,” says Dr. Kimberly Stoner, Director of Advocacy for CT NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association of CT), and Coordinator of the CT Environmental Rights Amendment Alliance
