On Saturday, May 30th, we’re celebrating a decade of Bridgeport Generation Now!

Founded in May of 2016, Bridgeport Generation Now began as an all-volunteer grassroots social action network. At our very first meeting, we committed to increasing civic engagement in our city. 

Over the years, our mission and purpose grew. Today, we organize to dismantle systemic corruption and racism so that we can build the just, equitable, democratic and livable Bridgeport we know is possible.

We have not done this work alone. Our collective wins are the result of deep relationships with people throughout our city and across the state.

People who have publicly supported our pro-democracy movement, who have quietly opened doors to help us build more power, who have bravely marched and rallied with us, and who have worked without recognition behind the scenes. In short, people who have gotten into good trouble alongside us! 

Movements for change don’t happen overnight. And they do not triumph in silos. They are built on collective people power. And they are won by not giving up. 

Ten years of good trouble is just the beginning! Join us!
