REP. WALKER PUSHES QUALITY EDUCATION

Rep. Toni Walker, House Chair of Appropriations Committee, today met with Mothers for Justice and other education and social services advocates at the State Capitol to discuss improving access to quality education.

“We will get people access,” Rep. Walker said. “We will make sure the community colleges are accessible so you and your family and your neighbors can hone the skill needed for gainful employment.”

Mothers for Justice, a women’s group from New Haven, is dedicated to improving the lives of low-income families. The goal of Mothers for Justice is to empower women and their families, increase awareness of social issues through advocacy and action and improve the quality of life for families and the community as a whole.
