We're circling back to the Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services, which is serving thousands of families in greater New Haven and the Naugatuck Valley. We'll discuss their all important preventative tool -  community outreach and education, its Hope Family Justice Center, and how to help by participating in the 2021 Strength-4-Survivors challenge.

Protecting one of your most fundamental rights and privileges as a Connecticut resident & an American - the votes you cast in on Election Day - is the subject of today's chat with the director of the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative.

Then we'll move through a busy agenda of subjects with Connecticut's Insurance Commissioner: including a new free life insurance program for front line COVID-19 health workers, and no cost coronavirus testing for all.

And we'll move into LGBTQ Pride Month hosting a candid conversation with State Rep Raghib Allie-Brennan - who spent his adult life working with local LGBTQ initiatives and supporting those struggling with stigmas and prejudice as they define their own sexuality.

This Independence Day weekend, we're paying tribute to all the folks who grow the good food we eat, who are taking steps to grow their own, or maintain their properties with organic standards in mind. 
So we're playing an encore presentation from our annual pilgrimage to the Northeast Organic Farming Association's Organiconn conference - which was held earlier this year at Wesleyan University. 
We caught up with NOFA's director, the event's keynote speaker, as well as a number of other guests promoting organic practices and programs that are enhancing our state's environment and public health, while engaging our youngest citizens to participate and enjoy the fruits and veggies they can raise and eat from their own personal, school, or community garden.
