Moral Monday CT gathers voices in the struggle for freedom and justice for black and brown people.

We are rooted in the social justice and civil rights movement started by the Reverend Doctor William Barber of North Carolina in response to recent restrictions on voting rights. We are a statewide Connecticut-based coalition of individuals and organizations brought together by the power of the Black Lives Matter movement. Moral Monday CT was founded by Bishop John Selders, Lady Pamela Selders, and Rev. Cornell Lewis. 

Partner organizations include: Black Lives Matter, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Ferguson Action, Deep Abiding Love Project and others.
