Voice Your Support of Working Families on May 1st

The people of Vermont have made it clear: workers' rights are human rights, and it's way past time to raise the wage to $15 and create a paid family and medical leave insurance program here in Vermont.

Do you want to work together to end poverty wages, improve family life, and see our interests and values represented by our elected officials?

On May 1st the Vermont Raise the Wage Coalition, Vermont Interfaith Action, and Rights & Democracy will be at the Vermont State House for a full day of lobbying, a press conference, and workshops on a variety of topics concerning the state budget and human rights.

There is no cost to register, and doing so will help to provide lunch and connect you with your legislators. You can do so here: http://bit.ly/2HK24du

A van will be leaving from the Old North End at 9am. Join the carpool here: http://www.groupcarpool.com/t/85rkmg. And share the event on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/345488639276846/. Can't make it to the whole thing? Join for what you can.

There will also be a May Day Rally on the State House lawn immediately following afternoon workshops hosted by the Human Rights Council of Vermont.
