On Saturday March 21st Mothers Demand Action honored several people in the New Haven community who have worked over the years to make it a better place to live. Their work has focused on our children, advocacy for people and their economic opportunity, civil rights and much more.
The individuals honored ranged from people in politics to people who run programs, are activists in our streets and included a police officer. A group not always lauded for what they do (save maybe the politicians) Mothers Demand Action took the day to say…Good Job!
