I have never been inspired more than when I was a March for Our Lives in D.C. shouting with 850,000 other people that "Enough is enough" and we need to "Vote them out!" (A reference to the politicians taking money from the NRA.) About a month prior, I had received a text from a friend notifying me of a rally on the steps of the Statehouse and asking if I wanted to participate. The next day, five of my friends and I traveled to Montpelier to encourage our legislature to pass bills S.6, H.422, and S.221. Since then I helped gain approximately 200 signatures for petitions for these bills at my school, I helped organize a walkout at my school, and I helped organize the very successful and extremely inspiring trip to Washington, D.C. with the Peace & Justice Center.

mission has called for a comprehensive, independent investigation of the construction, performance and safety of the pipeline. This is important because it delayed expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure, including a gate station in Monkton. It also shows that the PUC is siding with the public, and breaking from their usual course of action, which is to side with  the Department of Public Service-- and slap Vermont Gas with a minimal fine. This investigation is also exactly what Protect Geprags Park -- the grassroots group working to decommission the project -- wanted!
