Today we'll start by introducing the co-founder of 4-CT, a a non-profit that unites donors with nonprofit programs that are struggling through the COVID-19 situation - and learn about local musicians uniting in song to help raise awareness for 4-CT projects.

Meet a co-founder of ImmigrationHelp.org and learn how this grassroots organization is making immigrating to the United States easy, safe, and free by combining the power of technology with attorneys to help everyone who is qualified 
achieve the American dream. 

Then get clued in on Connecticut's first statewide LGBTQ+ Survey as we chat up the director of the General 
Assembly's Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity - which aims to enhance an understanding of the number of people that identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, and their needs.

And we're calling on all our For the People listeners to bring a friend and sign up for this year's virtual NAMI Walks - and to put your feet to the street defeating stigmas against those with mental health and related issues while helping  support our loved ones grappling with related challenges.

Today we're kicking things off with Abilis, a nonprofit serving more than 700 developmentally disabled individuals and their families. We'll learn more about an internationally renowned program Abilis is now offering called SibShops, combining recreation, discussion and information for siblings who endure the good (and sometimes uncomfortable) parts of having a sibling with a disability.

Then we'll meet Sacred heart University's VP for Advancement and new Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer to talk about how SHU is opening a new chapter aimed at broadening opportunities for both students and staff - and inviting you to support SHU's Jackie Robinson Scholarship Foundation with a chance to hang out virtually and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the famed Subway Series with Joe Torre and Bobby Valentine at 'SHU And 42'.

And we'll close talking about all the positive effects of exercise on your brain with Dr. Wendy Suzuki, who is poised to host a Zoom Workshop on the subject later this week for Newtown's Maplewood Senior Living community.
