ACTION ALERT: Tell VT Legislature to stay on track toward universal healthcare
By passing S.252 last Friday, the Vermont Senate has taken steps which could chip away at our universal healthcare law, Act 48, while the president of the Senate questioned whether we’ll even make it to Green Mountain Care.
Parameters for the equitable financing of Green Mountain Care

Raise Up VT! Livable Wages & Paid Sick Days
This year's Vermont Legislative session has become a debate about raising up the standards for workers in this state. The good news on paid sick days a broad coalition has taken this issue in the last year from the back burner to the center stage of political debate. However, in many ways national politics around minimum wage and our Governor have created an atmosphere where the focus in the legislature has turned to raising the minimum wage this year and pushing off the paid sick days to next year.
