GI BILL RESTORATION ACT!!

On this , I'm proud to join and in introducing the GI Bill Restoration Act.

We cannot address the mental health crisis in this country without acknowledging how it disproportionately affects Black Americans.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s spread awareness about these inequalities and share resources for the Black community in Connecticut and the United States.
