The Fairfield County Democrats said the rally is about much more than obstructing the GOP-Trump agenda, but more so about promoting issues and Democratic values that serve the American people, and those in Fairfield County. These include preserving the social safety net (affordable access to health care, preservation of Social Security, and Medicare); seeking social justice; providing a living wage in high cost Fairfield County; policies that grow jobs; investment in infrastructure, particularly mass transit; immigration reform; LGBTQ & women’s rights; affordable higher education; electoral college reform; legalization of marijuana; climate change and the preservation of our environment; and of course, stemming the power of money in politics.
