<p><strong>HARTFORD, CT—Senator Tony Hwang (R—Fairfield)</strong>&nbsp;joined Mary Hogue, founder of Sustainable Fairfield, along with a group of passionate young advocates to champion the Environmental Rights Amendment (<a href="https://cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&amp;which_year=2025&amp;bill_num=sj36" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">SJ 36</a>)—an initiative aimed at securing clean air, clean water, and a stable climate as fundamental rights in Connecticut’s state constitution. This critical amendment seeks to ensure that future generations inherit a state where environmental health, sustainability, and conservation are prioritized. On Wednesday, SJ 36 passed out of the Government Administration and Elections Committee.</p><p>“Protecting our environment is not just a moral obligation—it’s a necessity for our health, economy, and future generations,” said Senator Hwang. “The Environmental Rights Amendment is a critical step toward ensuring that our local water supplies, coastline, and natural resources are protected, while also advancing policies that enhance coastal resilience and promote carbon sequestration. We must act now to preserve Connecticut’s natural beauty and safeguard the well-being of our communities.”</p><p>Senator Hwang emphasized that protecting the environment transcends political divides and is a shared responsibility for all. He expressed his gratitude to the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters for its leadership in advancing environmental policies and for recognizing the essential role of bipartisan collaboration in conservation efforts. Ensuring a sustainable future requires voices from all sides working together to safeguard Connecticut’s natural resources.</p><p>Mary Hogue, a leading advocate for environmental sustainability, expressed her enthusiasm for Senator Hwang’s leadership on this issue. “I’m here to support the Environmental Rights Amendment, and I’m so excited to have Senator Tony Hwang speaking out—not just as a senator, but as a Republican. It means so much,” Hogue said. “This amendment would ensure that Connecticut’s environment remains safe and healthy for today’s children and for future generations. We hope the rest of the legislature follows Senator Hwang’s lead and votes in favor.”</p><p>The senator was particularly inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication of the young advocates in attendance. Their commitment to environmental sustainability reaffirmed his belief that the next generation is prepared to lead with passion and purpose. He pledged to continue empowering young leaders to drive meaningful change in environmental conservation.</p><p>By working together, Connecticut can protect its natural legacy and uphold the fundamental right to a clean and healthy environment for all.</p><p><strong><em>(</em></strong><a href="https://youtu.be/JcBczTw1yUA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);"><em>Watch Press Conference Here</em></a><strong><em>)</em></strong></p>
