House Meeting Campaign 2024
House meetings are 60-90 minute listening sessions with a small group of people, facilitated by trained leaders. Through house meetings, we identify issues that are affecting our community. We hear direct impact stories and identify leaders motivated to create positive change. We build connections among leaders and strengthen our relational network.
You are invited to attend!
Contact your core team or email ghiaa@cljct.org to register for a session.

GHIAA Campaign Launch and Update 2023
One December 7, 2022 GHIAA welcomed over 750 members in-person to launch our new issue campaigns!
Watch the launch on the right and hear the updates (on the left) on how GHIAA’s education, environmental justice, housing, mental health, and gun violence prevention campaigns faired in the 2023 legislative session.
Anti-racism is the heart of our work.
The Center for Leadership and Justice recognizes that the only true way to live out our mission “to develop leaders who act collectively for social justice in Greater Hartford” is to commit fully to being an antiracist institution. This antiracism commitment influences how we hire, structure organizational leadership, do business, and importantly how we organize.
On October 28, 2019, 1500+ people from 35 multi-faith congregations and allied institutions gathered to launch the Greater Hartford Interfaith Action Alliance (GHIAA).
