Great news - an order was published today and "The New Haven 20" are to be officially promoted. It took six long years and a trip to the Supreme Court but equality before the law was upheld. There will be more on this in another post, but for now say a prayer of thanks.
The promotion ceremony will tke place on Wednesday, December 2nd at 3:30 PM at the New Haven Regional Fire Training Academy, located at 230 Ella T. Grasso Blvd., New Haven Connecticut.
The New Haven 20 have been very supportive of the FDNY and of Merit Matters, as well. A large turnout would be very much appreciated by them. Class A uniforms should be worn.

Merit Matters
- Merit Matters
- United States
- We believe in equal opportunity, NOT guaranteed results. We want Civil Service standards to be high, meaningful, equally applied and blind to race, gender or ethnicity. Written and physical exams should ensure that the MOST QUALIFIED are chosen, they should not be designed to have as many applicants as possible "pass."
