Cynthia posts Important Hartford Information on her page.
Cynthia Jennings is a civil rights attorney. She is currently serving as a Councilwoman on the Hartford City Council. For the past four years, Councilwoman Jennings has served as chairperson of the Parks, Public Works and Environment Committee at the Hartford City Council.
One of her primary missions on the Hartford City Council is to recover the huge financial losses the residents of this city have suffered because of the violation of their civil rights.
This includes addressing the health effects suffered by largely Black and Latino children and seniors, from asthma, and other environmental health issues currently facing Hartford residents because of environmental justice civil rights violations, including the siting of numerous, multiple environmentally risky facilities within our city, including the North Meadows Landfill; the Sewage Treatment Plant; the Trash to Energy Incinerator; the Recycling Facility and the siting of jet engines that are fired up to make up the deficit when there is not enough trash to be burned to generate sufficient electricity to send to the electric grid.
Attorney Jennings, while on City Council, has addressed issues related to employment discrimination facing Hartford residents, as well as issues of unjust taxation of Hartford residents, and the exclusion of so many Hartford residents from job opportunities, educational and economic development opportunities.
This exclusion of Hartford residents from employment educational opportunities, and exposure to excessive body burdens of toxic chemicals and environmental poisons, has resulted in severe educational, employment, economic, and health disparities in our city, as well as an increase in violence.
Councilwoman Jennings for years, has fought against the multiple disparities facing the residents of our city, and the killing of so many of our precious children.
