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.

Boys & Girls Village – Connecticut Data Collaborative – National Veterans Council for Legal Redress

Summer's here and kids should be having a blast, but there are hundreds of kids involved with the Boys & Girls Village Foster and Therapeutic Foster care programs who are looking for a caring family to help them feel at home again. So stay tuned, learn more and see if you can get involved.


Then we're going to talk about data - who uses it, why, and how data can be accessed and applied to improve your academic project, nonprofit, community agency, journalism initiative and more - as we welcome and discuss how you can be part of the Connecticut Data Collaborative.


And if you're a veteran or somebody who cares about a vet who was  refused support services because of a non-qualifying discharge, we're going to connect them for help from the New Haven based National Veterans Council for Legal Redress.

The founder of Adam's House returns to our program to remind you about the free bereavement support they provide to families annually through “Helping Hearts Heal.” And we'll let you know how to help support their good work at the upcoming virtual Mistletoe & Margaritas event.

As Epilepsy Awareness Month draws to a close, we'll visit with the CT Epilepsy Advocate to find out all the resources this grassroots nonprofit is offering to the thousands of folks across our state living with epilepsy.
