Healthcare Is A Human Right Campaign:
On May 1, 2012 over two thousand people came to a Healthcare Is A Human Right march and rally in Vermont’s state capitol, Montpelier, calling for the passage of ground-breaking legislation putting Vermont on course to become the the first state in the country with a universal healthcare system. We will never forget that only three years before, when the Vermont Workers’ Center launched the Healthcare Is A Human Right Campaign we were told by almost everyone that this couldn’t happen. We have many more battles on the road ahead to implement the system and we need your help! To get involved, visit www.workerscenter.org/healthcare
The People's Budget Campaign: All people have a right to healthcare, education, housing, and dignified work. Yet our state is cutting necessary public services and public jobs, instead of raising new revenue. That’s why we are joining together to demand a say in how our state raises and spends our money. We must fight for a People’s Budget that puts our communities’ needs and rights first. Together we can make our voices heard--to learn more about how you can get involved, visit www.workerscenter.org/peoplesbudget
Vermont Parents United: Access to affordable quality childcare is increasingly becoming harder and harder for most Vermont families. The Vermont Workers’ Center has launched Vermont Parents United (VPU) because we believe that parents need to be able to have a united voice at the Statehouse on policy that relates to affordable childcare, raising the standards in early education and other issues that affect parents. We are organizing parents all over the state and collecting signatures on cards supporting the Right To Organize for Vermont early educators and childcare workers.
