The state has launched a new tourism campaign entitled Say Yes To CT to get people excited about what Connecticut has to offer.
The slogan was created by state and tourism leaders to offer a little bit of hope ahead of the summer season. The $1.2 million initiative comes after the industry took a hit in 2020. However, tourism leaders believe a rebound is near as vaccinations increase and residents along with out-of-state visitors feel comfortable traveling and taking in some of the sights.

Art is better in person there, I said it. While it’s wonderful that museums and galleries have made art more accessible through their online exhibitions during the pandemic, it just isn’t the same as viewing it up close and personal.

As the death of George Floyd, and now Daunte Wright, once again dominate the news cycle, so too local communities throughout the United States are called to continue the work of addressing the inequities and injustices caused by systemic racism.
Thankfully, in many places, that work didn’t begin with the death of Mr. Floyd it has been happening all along. Still, the horrific footage of that event, together with the killing of Daunte Wright, underscore both the urgency of the work, and the sheer scale of it. The roots of systemic racism run deep, and they are pervasive. Those roots run deep throughout the entire country, but they are especially pervasive in local communities.
