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

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.

It's November 1, that means time for open enrollment on the CT Health Insurance Exchange. So we'll bring in a representative from one of the original exchange providers - ConnectiCare with all you need to know if your signing up.

Then we'll ring up state Senator Matt Lesser for a heads-up on a number of healthcare products the CT Insurance Dept is recommending you should avoid.

Finally, we'll circle back with cybersecurity expert Pamela Gupta following the latest Northeast Annual Cybersecurity Summit - to hear what's keeping her up nights, and a few specific tips for homeowners, students, and businesses to keep your data and cyberworld better protected.
