Twin Soul Poets, Hamilton Graziano and Ingrid Alli, wrote and performed a piece about Richard and Mildred Loving. Check it out
here.
"I am proud that Richard's and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That's what Loving, and loving, are all about."-
Mildred Loving (in 2007, on the 40th anniversary of the Loving decision)

Filming the Police Commission Meetings
|
|
Recent meetings of the Burlington Police Commission have included discussions about police shootings, community accountability, domestic violence prevention, and the role of the commission itself.
Should these meeting happen in a bubble?
Of course not! And the commissioners don't them want to. Unfortunately they have not been successful in leveraging money from the City of Burlington to pay for the meetings to be recorded. As of two months ago, PJC Executive Director Rachel Siegel has been signing out equipment from CCTV, the local public access channel, and recording the meetings herself.
Volunteer camera people needed! Are you interested in learning how to use the CCTV equipment to take turns at filming the meetings? The meetings are the fourth Tuesday of each month. Please contact Rachel to find out more.
