Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition – Pride Month / Triangle Community Center – The Arts Alliance of Stratford

It's been awhile since we touched base with the Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, and the recent release of the agency's State of the Child 2020 Report is a perfect reason to reconnect and discuss this important online publication.

Then, as we do each June - we'll celebrate pride month promoting resources for the region's LGBTQ community - this year welcoming the director of the Triangle Community Center which serves more than 5,000 LGBTQ community members in greater Fairfield County and beyond.
