North Haven, CT - To celebrate Connecticut’s inaugural Diaper Needs Awareness Day, The Diaper Bank will host its 4th annual “Rock Your Baby” event on Thursday October 27th. The goal of the event is to honor those who have aided in the recognition of diaper needs as a pressing social issue and who have contributed to the growth of the Diaper Bank. “Rock Your Baby” will take place from 6:30-9:00pm at The Old Guitar Store, 153 East Street, New Haven, CT. Tickets are $52 and discounts will be provided to those who bring packs of diapers.
The event will be preceded by a panel policy discussion open to the public regarding the effect of diaper need on children and their families. Panelists scheduled to appear include Senator Toni Harp of the Connecticut State Senate; Dr. Megan Smith, a professor of psychology at Yale University; Teresa Younger, the executive director of the Connecticut General Assembly’s Permanent Commission on the Status of Women; Rudy Brooks, formerly a bureau chief with the Connecticut Department of Children and Families; and Alison Weir, an attorney at Wiggin and Dana. Joanne Goldblum, founder of The Diaper Bank, will moderate. The panel discussion will take place from 5:00-6:30 pm at the Old Guitar Store, 153 East Street, New Haven, CT.

Cradle to grave - Conn. Dems Look to Place Diapers on Taxpayer Tab
People who cannot afford to buy diapers have no business having a baby.
One can laugh, but aren’t there better uses of paper and computer space than stuff like this?
Good gravy! Just go to Walmart ... unless the psychotic socialist government of Connecticut won’t let you. A large box of house-brand diapers is cheaper than a six-pack of Red Bull.
Notice the Governor does not propose the state fund it.
I think it’s our politicians who need diapers!!!
For the record - I'm pro-diaper.
If this is for the OSW crowd, I’m for it!
If this is for the OWS crowd, I’m for it!
Your floors and furnishings thank you for that.
Since they’re already getting:
Sec 8 housing
energy assistance
food stamps
school breakfast & lunch
WIC food subsidies
free cell phones
$10 high speed internet
and earned income credits
it’s not surprising that they would thing somebody should give them diapers.
I had 5 kids—before there were disposable diapers. Whatever happened to cloth diapers—you know, the kind you wash, dry, and reuse? People on welfare could be given three dozen cloth diapers with each newborn. The rest should be up to them.
Why aren’t people yelling about landfills anymore. Half of what’s there is probably disposable diapers.
Is that guy on SSN who acts like a “adult” baby going to get in on this? Or maybe his nanny will hook him up - so to speak.
Fine, lets make the taxpayers buy diapers on 1 condition. They have to be cloth diapers and we buy them 1 time per mother.
I am so sick of other people expecting the rest of us to pay for their poor choices.
My cousin posted tonight on facebook that she can’t afford medical care. I posted that if she can afford to play dress up at a gamers convention on the other side of the country, she can afford medical care.
Cloth diapers are a great way to fight the evil corporate giant too.
Minnesota would have a spokesperson if they were to institute this....
lol. true.
Don’t forget free health care for kids in RI.
Yeah I forgot Medicaid. That’s in all states.
One of the 57 states has a celebration. Why try to hamper it?
