P Flag Hartford co‑president Julieta Warley highlights peer support, scholarship and advocacy

Julieta Warley, co‑president of P Flag Hartford, told the CT Paid Leave podcast that the local chapter provides free peer support meetings, both in person and virtually, for LGBTQ+ people, parents, family members, educators and allies across Connecticut. "We serve LGBTQ plus individuals, parents, family members, educators, and allies throughout Connecticut by offering free peer support meetings both in person and virtual," Warley said.

Warley said the chapter is particularly proud of the Helen and Bob Brill scholarship, which she said "has awarded over $30,500 to Connecticut students that are heading into college who are involved in LGBTQ plus support, education, or advocacy." She said the group wants to grow the Brill Scholarship Fund to support more students.

On advocacy, Warley said P Flag Hartford is aligned with P Flag National's Fighting for Our Pride campaign, a nationwide effort "to equip and mobilize families to push back against the wave of harmful legislation that's currently targeting LGBTQ plus people." She listed areas of concern including book bans and restrictions on gender‑affirming care.

Warley outlined priorities for the chapter: expanding access to its support meetings (including virtual options), growing the scholarship fund and increasing education and advocacy at the state and local levels so Connecticut remains "a safe and affirming place for LGBTQ plus people and their families." "We believe that family acceptance and support can be lifechanging for LGBTQ plus people," she said.

Warley described P Flag Hartford as a volunteer‑run organization and encouraged people to get involved; she provided contact information during the interview. The transcript records the phone number as "860‑785909" and lists email and website forms that appear to contain typographical errors in the transcript; the guest also noted P Flag Hartford's presence on social media. The interview host, Nancy Barrow, is identified in the recording as engagement and podcast director for CT Paid Leave (CT Paid Leave Authority).

The interview was part of CT Paid Leave's "Five Minutes of Impact" series, a short‑form podcast highlighting Connecticut changemakers. Barrow closed the segment by pointing listeners to the Paid Leave podcast for a deeper dive.

The contact details and some name spellings in the transcript appear inconsistent; the interview provided the following information verbatim from the recording and may contain transcription errors: phone "860‑785909"; websites/emails transcribed as "pflagghartford.org", "pagardford.org", "infoplartford.org" and the podcast URL "ctpaidle.org."
