Press release provided by the Office of the Secretary of the State

NORWALK, CT — On Saturday, Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas addressed the crowd at Norwalk's "Pride in the Park" celebration held at the city's Veterans Memorial Park and Marina.

According to a news release provided by her office, Thomas and members of the Norwalk legislative delegation also presented Pride in the Park organizers with a citation to honor the event for contributing to an inclusive culture in the city of Norwalk.

"Don't stop at voting," Thomas said in a news release. "The issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community don't end on Election Day. Rights can get taken away at any time, so please vote and get involved 365 days a year."

The Office of the Secretary of the State also had a table at the event, with staff and volunteers having conversations with those in attendance about the importance of voting and community involvement, as part of a wider effort by Thomas to meet Connecticut residents outside of the Capitol space.

Pride in the Park was sponsored by Fairfield County's Triangle Community Center. More information is available at ctpridecenter.org.
