“As violence against houses of worship of every religion continues to be a scourge in our society, I remain grateful to Connecticut for continuing to support the safety and security of nonprofits and religious locations with investments like these. It has been close to a decade since Senator Derek Slap and I worked together to create the Connecticut Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and since then, tens of millions of dollars have been committed to help our state fight and prevent antisemitic, Islamophobic, anti-Christian and anti-religious sentiment weaponized against innocent worshippers.”
