The SPCT was proud to stand tall with the members of QLF and the Middletown LGBTQ community to demand amends from the owner of the Middletown coffee shop, Javapalooza. The owner has developed a reputation for using hateful speech and harassing workers and customers alike. On Sunday, Jan 30th, approximately 75 supporters showed up in Middletown to conduct a teach-in inside the coffee shop and set up a picket line outside to inform the general public about the incident and our demands for amends from the owner. The protest was well received by the patrons and general public on the street.

The Socialist Party of CT denounces all forms of discrimination and stands in solidarity with any group that feels that they're being unfairly treated due to their physical, mental, religious, sexual or other attributes.
