Moving toward equitable and productive futures for justice-impacted individuals and their families.
The mission of this Connecticut-based Collaborative is to inspire and sustain dialogue and action among individuals, organizations and coalitions in Connecticut whose interests intersect the issues of poverty, criminal justice and race.

The Collaborative was formed in Hartford, Connecticut in early 2018 in order to encourage continuous dialogue and conversation that address structural inequities in our communities and in our criminal justice system until these inequities are addressed and removed. Everyday Democracy gathered individuals and organizations throughout the state whose work or passions intersect, 
or touch in any way on the areas of poverty, criminal justice and race.
In November, 2018, the Collaborative launched with A Time To Talk event, at the Chrysalis Center, Hartford, featuring American lawyer, policy maker, law professor and author of Not a Crime to be Poor, Peter Edelman who participated in a panel discussion and community dialogues.
The Collaborative hosts One State, One Film a series of film screenings and conversations that re-imagine a justice system where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
