Revenue, Housing & Public Education Justice

 Building an Economy, Housing, and Education System That Works for All 

The Revenue, Housing & Public Education Justice Campaign advances bold, people-centered policies that ensure everyone in Connecticut has safe, affordable housing, well-funded public schools, and access to essential public services. We believe housing and education are human rights—and that wealthy individuals and large corporations must pay their fair share to fund the systems our communities rely on.

This campaign connects fair taxation with housing and education justice, recognizing that underfunded schools and unstable housing fuel displacement, inequality, and intergenerational harm.

• Progressive state revenue policies that tax the wealthy and large corporations
• Strong tenant protections against unjust evictions and rent gouging
• Accountability for landlords who maintain unsafe or substandard housing
• Long-term preservation and expansion of affordable housing statewide
• Full and equitable public education funding, especially for under-resourced districts and communities of color
• 
  

Legislative Advocacy & Policy Development
We work directly with state legislators, committee members, and coalition partners to advance laws that protect tenants and invest in communities.

Our work includes:

• Developing a community-informed Revenue, Housing & Public Education Justice legislative agenda
• Advocating for rent stabilization, just-cause eviction protections, and landlord accountability
• Pushing for state revenue investments in public education, public housing, healthcare, and community infrastructure
• Submitting public testimony and policy recommendations during legislative sessions
• Coordinating statewide advocacy with housing justice, education justice, and economic equity partners

Connecticut’s housing and education crises are driven by rising costs, stagnant wages, and chronic underinvestment in public systems. Underfunded schools and unstable housing reinforce one another, deepening racial and economic inequities.

Without strong tenant protections and equitable revenue systems, families are pushed out of their homes, students are destabilized, and communities are denied the resources they need to thrive.

This campaign works to ensure that public policy protects renters, strengthens neighborhoods, and fully funds public education so every child has access to safe schools and real opportunity.

Community power drives change. You can support this campaign by sharing your story, submitting testimony, contacting legislators, and joining collective action for housing and economic justice.
