What Equity Looks Like in Burlington: As Goes Burlington...

First Congregational Church
38 S. Winooski Ave, Burlington

There is lots of talk from elected officials about the necessity for Vermont to grow its economy. It can only do so with a dramatic change of the racial demographics of the State. We all know that this will not be sustainable until we address factors contributing to the systemic nature of racism in the State. The population and race demographics of Burlington scream the fact that "as goes Burlington, so goes Vermont. This is a community conversation about that.

Who are we, as City?
Who do we hope to become?
How will we get there?

These are some of the questions that many are asking. This strategic session will give us an opportunity to wrestle with some of these questions and discuss some solutions.

This will be a forum to hear from the community on matters of equity, diversity and inclusion. This is your opportunity to be heard. Bring your voices.
