The Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities is conducting an equity survey to all Connecticut residents.

The goal of the equity study is to make sure Connecticut’s programs and policies are fair.

The study will provide a report on state programs and policies to:
• Identify any patterns of discrimination, inequality, or disparities in outcomes
• Make recommendations to solve those problems and avoid future discrimination

Access the survey here: https://portal.ct.gov/equitystudy

The State of Connecticut wants to help CT residents get connected with the skills and devices they need in the digital age.

Take a few minutes to tell us about your technology needs. The
survey should take 5 – 10 minutes to complete.
