Democratic Legislators to Support Health Care Workers in Nursing Homes & Highlight Inequities
Led by Senator Marilyn Moore, Legislators to Highlight Disparities at Connecticut Nursing Homes
CONNECTICUT - On Friday May 8, starting at 8 A.M. Democratic State Senators and State Representatives will visit 15 nursing homes across the state of Connecticut. The elected officials will be traveling three different routes over the course of the morning and early afternoon and concluding at Kimberly Hall North in Windsor at approximately 12:30 P.M.
At each location legislators will be speaking with a few workers from the nursing home to express their appreciation for their work. Legislators will be highlighting the fact that black and brown people are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 as workers exposed to the virus and in some instances are not provided with the necessary personal protective equipment. Despite low wages, a lack of safe recovery accommodations, and a lack of paid time off, these workers continue to work on the front lines of this pandemic supporting all of our families.
