Hate speech and overt racism is on the up rise. Recent legislation is seeking to address racial disparities across all systems of government and "mitigate systemic racism". The Governor passed an Executive Order (18-04) last year in his effort to address racial equity and diversity in state government. For the first time in 242 years, our legislature has introduced language to de-constitutionalize slavery and a bill is being introduced that will create a commission to determine the feasibility of slavery reparations. Efforts are underway this session to (like 30 other states) illegalize racial profiling; expand the Human Rights Commission and standardize use of force data collection, policy and training.

Join us to get the comprehensive update on where we are and where we are going with addressing racial equity and diversity in Vermont. We will conduct group discussions and provide breakout sessions to provide folks a space to do the work.

Bring the kids.

We'll bring the snacks.
