On the heels of a City Council hearing where a strong resolution was introduced asking for protections for our immigrant and refugee communities, Make the Road CT members are now headed to the Board of Education where another resolution is up for a vote to make Bridgeport schools a safe place for all students.

The actions are part of Make the Road CT’s citywide efforts to push policies that protect all immigrants.

Participants will be immigrant parents and community members from Make the Road CT and CT Student for a Dream.

The rally is from 5 to 7 p.m. at Bridgeport City Hall, 45 Lyon Terrace, Bridgeport.
