Join your neighbors as we share our stories of the interconnected human rights crises in Vermont, explain what we expect from our elected officials, and put the legislative candidates on notice that we will hold them accountable to our human rights vision of government that puts people first. We need healthcare as a human right, a People’s Budget, respect for the rights of workers, transportation and mobility options for all, a healthy environment and livable planet, and for all of us to be treated with dignity, including those of us who are immigrants and have disabilities. These forums will be hosted by the Vermont Human Rights Council, and are part of a statewide grassroots initiative to build a movement for human rights and real democracy.
Sponsors of the forums include:
Vermont Workers' Center, Migrant Justice, 350 Vermont, Vermont Early Educators United-AFT, United Professions of Vermont, Vermont AFL-CIO, Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals- AFT, Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL), Green Mountain Self Advocates, Voices for Vermont's Children, Red Clover Climate Justice, Vermont Homecare Workers United- AFSCME, United Health Care Workers East- SEIU
