As a collective of human service and faith-based organizations in Stamford, we represent and serve the vast majority of our community. Many of Stamford’s elected officials and local leaders have made a genuine effort to understand the challenges of the community that we serve and model active engagement. However, recent events across the country have shown us that as a community and as a nation, we need to do much more to move forward. Our organizations work directly with the most vulnerable among us and know that their voices need to be heard by those who have access to power in our city.
