Dear Executive ,,
On Saturday, January 27, 2024, Vermonters will come together in the capital city, Montpelier, to call on the state’s decision-makers to address current economic, social and environmental injustice for the sake of the communities most impacted today and the next generation. Later is too late. Act now to build a thriving future for all.
Vermonters are calling for Legislators and the Governor to create a more equitable, peaceful and healthy economy in balance with our planet. Business and politics as usual has left the state scrambling in the face of extreme weather and geopolitical events during 2023.
The result?
- An affordable housing crisis,
- social unrest,
- overwhelmed food shelves,
- low-income families spending over 5 times more of their monthly income on energy bills than higher-income families,
- and one of the highest per capita carbon emissions of all the states in the Northeast US.
The problems we are working to solve are interconnected and we need our Legislators to address the root-causes of injustice. We are bigger than what divides us. No more corporate schemes, forgotten people, prisons and wars. Vermont should be built on a strong democracy that prioritizes the needs of the people and our collective future. Together we can embrace new solutions that drive investments in our communities, farmers and our land, provide safe, warm and affordable housing, and give all Vermonters access to 100% low-emissions income-assessed energy. It takes courage to work for systemic change, but time is running out. Later is too late. Bring your voice to the statehouse on January 27 #rally4justiceVT
