In this panel, Impactful Structural Change, Land Sovereignty, and Reparations, we will explore the different approaches to building land sovereignty in Vermont. We will hear from leaders that are building alternative land-access models to strengthen their communities, increase local food security, right past wrongs, and bring lasting change to the state of Vermont.
