Let truth and justice be swift.
As our Co-Director @cgheilmann testified, voters are not the only victims when partisan operatives are allowed to circulate absentee ballot applications. It’s also the campaign workers who aren’t being trained on the laws! #protectdemocracy #ruleoflaw #removeabsenteeoperatives
💯 another year, another “groundbreaking!”
Presenting Ganim The Magician! 🪄🎩 Every year, he “holds the line” on property taxes while Bridgeport has minimal economic growth! 📉 How does he do it??? By defunding education of course! #magicalthinking #budgetseason2025 #fundourschools

WAIT… WHAT??? 🤯 BPT City Council Reps are taking time reserved for THE PEOPLE? 🤬
This is the 2nd mtg in a row they’ve done this. Maybe they don’t like what the people have to say?
Come to City Hall on Mon, 3/17 at 6:30 to stand with us!#protectdemocracy #bridgeport #inthistogether
The party leaders quoted in this article - who are in favor of a Shelton resident serving in a Bridgeport leadership role - are completely out of touch with the anger on the ground about the state of our political system and our democracy.
Can’t stop won’t stop! 40 day Target Fast started March 5th and weeklong Amazon boycott starts today!! #defeatfascism #protest #targetfast #amazonboycott #nationalprotest #oligarchy
Thank you Sen. Gadkar-Wilcox for standing with the voters of Bridgeport. We deserve a accountability and a functioning democracy. And we need our local elected officials who care about voting rights and fair elections to step up!
On Monday night, our Co-Director @cgheilmann tried to speak during a City Council public hearing. They used the police to shut her down… #joeganim #eneidamartinez #mariapereira #bridgeportcitycouncil #corruption #coverup #authoritarianism #inourownbackyard #bridgeport
Supervisory Assistant State's Attorney Michael DeJoseph said [Bridgeport City Councilwoman Eneida] Martinez was expected to testify to having the interior of the club cleaned up before police gained entry, thus explaining a relative lack of physical evidence.

“I’m going to win,” Pereira said, referring to prior arrests on unrelated matters. 🫠 🤦🏽♀️
“If we don’t get out the vote, Ganim loses.” Alfredo Castillo, February 26, 2025
A terrible thing happened in the Oval Office today when Pres Zelensky was confronted-dare we say ambushed-by Vance & then Trump.
PLEASE take 5 mins *now*. Call your Senators+your Rep, even though you’ll have to leave a voice message.
