The Vermont Workers' Center (VWC) is bringing legendary singer-songwriter-organizer Si Kahn to join them on a series of events and fundraising concerts across the state. For the Barre and Brattleboro performances, Kahn will be joined by Scott Ainslie, the world-renowned blues guitarist based in Brattleboro. The tour celebrates the eleventh anniversary of our work to grow a grassroots network of working and low-income Vermonters for workers' rights and social justice. This tour builds the momentum and energy of over a thousand participants who converged on the Statehouse in Montpelier on May 1, 2009, to celebrate our historic "Health Care is a Human Right" rally.
