We are heartbroken, discouraged, and angry.
On July 1st, 2025, over 950 Vermonters - including over 300 children and more than 140 very medically vulnerable adults - were expelled from shelter by the State of Vermont, without any provision or plan for their health, safety, or dignity.
As fellow citizens, we feel a profound sense of responsibility and helplessness in the face of such immoral and cruel treatment of our unhoused neighbors, who are being punished simply for lacking shelter in a time when shelter is unavailable.
We invite you to gather in grief, solidarity, and moral witness.
Join us for a 30-minute Service of Lament, led by clergy and leaders of Vermont Interfaith Action. We will honor our shared sorrow and outrage - and listen for the strength and courage we need to move toward action, justice, and a Vermont where everyone is housed.
Please join us. Stand with us. Mourn with us.
Move forward with us.
