HARTFORD, CT – Due to fears of spread of COVID-19, the Green Party of Connecticut will be holding it's March 18 SCC meeting online (using ZOOM) rather than in-person. (Not surprisingly, like many others around the state, the Newington Library is canceling all meetings for the rest of the month.)

Information on joining the meeting will be sent out shortly. If you believe you may need help to get your computer set up to participate optimally in the meeting, please send us a note. (ZOOM does allow phoning in, but it’s a good idea to log in as well, to take advantage of chat features, even if you plan to use audio from your phone.)

The deadline for declaring your candidacy for Green Party of Connecticut offices this year will be on Wednesday, March 18,  at 9:00 p.m. (at the close of the SCC meeting). We will be voting for 3 co-chairs, secretary, treasurer, and 5 representatives to the GPUS national committee. Send a note to [email protected] if you’re interested.
