We reached out to the President of ROVAC - the Registrars of Voters Association of Connecticut - to talk about the most important updates and things you need to know to easily and successfully cast your ballots in the upcoming August 11 primaries.

Then we'll head to the gardens of Common Ground High School - a charter school in New Haven and the oldest environmental charter school in the United States to learn how its staff is preparing students for college success and a lifetime of environmental leadership. 

And we'll close with the latest in our series 'Counting on 2020' Census Segments as we head into Census PUSH WEEK. We'll tap a regional census director to learn how PUSH Week aims to increase 2020 Census self-response rates via activities, parades, social messaging campaigns and more.

We're kicking it off talking about 'The Journey to Equity and Inclusion' in our workplaces with the Chief Knowledge Officer from the Society for Human Resource Management talking about SHRM’s Together Forward @Work initiative. 

Then our guest from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University will hit the high points of a new study on how Connecticut has gone so wrong when it comes to administering public pensions, and what can be done about it.

And then we'll reconnect with the Community Action Agency serving greater New Haven, and key in on the statewide home energy assistance program. Our guest will explain everything you need to know about it - and how to gather the information you'll need to apply and qualify.

Our focus on the issue of COVID-19 outbreaks in nursing homes and care facilities across Connecticut starts with a national expert from AARP talking about how that organization is pursuing legislation to better support and protect residents of those facilities.

Then we'll take a very personal look at a tragic COVID-19 nursing home experience that affected State Rep Michelle Cook of Torrington, and how her experience helped initiate a sweeping investigation into why so many seniors were being infected by and dying from it.

We'll follow touching base with Junior Achievement of Greater Fairfield County to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the outlook of area high school seniors and their future educational or career plans.

Finally, we'll remind you about an important event coming up at the Burroughs Community Center July 9 - and how a regional nonprofit called Save a Suit is aiming to help veterans who may be more food insecure because of the virus health emergency.
