Have a Harc Day
February 14, 2025 Legislative Office Building Hartford, CT
What an incredible turnout for our 13th Annual Have a Harc Day at the Connecticut State Legislative Building!
We were overwhelmed with gratitude seeing so many families, staff, individuals, supporters, and Legislators come together for a day of advocacy and connection.
Heartfelt testimony filled the room as we called for the critical funding needed to sustain the programs and services that make a real difference in the lives of individuals with IDD. We heard powerful voices from our community advocating for the support that nonprofits like Harc so desperately need to continue our vital work.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and a special shoutout to our host, Representative Jillian Gilchrest, as well as Senator Matt Lesser, Rep. Nick Menapace, Rep. Jane Garibay, Deputy Majority Leader Tammy Exum, Rep. Manny Sanchez, Rep. Robert Sanchez, and Heather Ferguson-Hall from OPM for their unwavering support! Together, we’re making sure that voices of the IDD community are heard and respected. Let’s continue to fight for a future where all individuals have access to the services they deserve.
