Healthy and Just CT is a coalition of Connecticut-based action groups working to coordinate and support the criminal justice reform field in Connecticut. The coalition works at the intersection of healthcare reform and criminal justice reform to address the systemic problems families and communities are facing. Convened by the Katal Center for Health, Equity, and Justice, the coalition will strengthen the field of organizing and advocacy by helping groups and allies take collective action. It is a multiracial formation with broad array of participants with a variety of views and experiences. Our three guiding goals are to:
- Strengthen the field of criminal justice reform by facilitating intersectional collaborations;
