What is the Hilltop Brigade?

The Hilltop Brigade began in 2006 as an email list of friends and friends-of-friends interested in national and international affairs and deeply concerned about the direction our country was heading in under President Bush and the Republicans.  Our goal in 2006 was to leverage volunteers from Connecticut's two "safe" Democratic congressional districts to help defeat the Republican incumbents in Connecticut's three adjacent congressional districts.  Supported and encouraged by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro and Congressman John Larson, we flipped two of Connecticut's Republican-held seats to Democratic.  In 2008 we again canvassed in October and flipped the final seat.

In 2020, we are reviving the Hilltop Brigade and will send our volunteers to help get out the vote in Pennsylvania.  Join us!
