On Wednesday, October 21, a room full of advocates and changemakers will gather to honor the legacy of Constance Baker Motley and raise funds to support providing free legal education and referral services to women across Connecticut. Through our statewide program, we ensure that women, particularly women of color and women living with low incomes, have access to the information, tools, and support they need to navigate systems that were not designed with them in mind.

We are so grateful to our event sponsors and for their support of this work. Join us in thanking them!

Election Day is November 3 and your vote is your power.

Our 2026 Voter Guide shares information about how to advocate and organize in your community this election cycle, get loud, and help move Connecticut women one step closer to economic security.

Every election gives us the opportunity to shape the policies that impact our lives, families and communities. But making our voices heard doesn't begin or end at the ballot box. The 2026 Voter Guide is here to help you think about the issues that matter most, engage with the people around you, and organize for the changes you want to see.

Elected officials are supposed to work for us, the people. Together, we have the power to hold them accountable and help build a future where all women and girls can thrive. Make your plan to vote!

A seat at the Constance Baker Motley Award Luncheon does more than just bring you to the table.

It helps more women understand their rights, navigate complex systems, and advocate for themselves and their families.

Funds raised through the luncheon support She Leads Justice's legal information and access work - helping ensure that access to justice isn't reserved for people who can afford an attorney.

Join us on October 21 and invest in a Connecticut where more women have the information and support they need to pursue justice.

Reserve your seat and support the work today.

Each year, She Leads Justice gathers advocates, community leaders, and changemakers from across Connecticut for our signature annual fundraiser: the Constance Baker Motley Award Luncheon.

The 2026 Legislative Session in Connecticut ended last Wednesday, May 6th. It was a busy, short session with a lot of bills being introduced and some amazing moments of advocacy.

Although a statewide child tax credit was not established this year, we were successful in building incredible support and momentum for the 2027 session. We also experienced some important wins in other issue areas. 🎉

We will use the off-session to continue building, strategizing, and working with our partners to continue the fight next year!

At She Leads Justice we know Mother’s Day has different meanings to different people. We believe everyday is a perfect day to celebrate not only the women who create us, but the ones who care for us, guide us, teach us, and encourage us.

This Mother’s Day SLJ would like to reaffirm our dedication to leading the fight for women’s economic security in Connecticut. We publish this post and continue our work with gratitude and admiration for all those across our state who nurture and help to shape our future generations. We see you, we appreciate you, and we will never stop fighting for you.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Love,
SLJ 💜

It was another long week at the Capitol for our Policy Director- full of long days and nights of session, speaking with legislators, collaborating with partners, and celebrating some wins!

This week we saw bills pass out of chambers that will expand insurance coverage for contraceptives, increase government accountability when civil rights are violated, and strengthen protections for all kinds of workers across Connecticut.

The work continues today and next week, as the session comes to a close next Wednesday, May 6th.

Stay tuned for updates and an End of Session Recap!
