This meeting is held on the third Wednesday of each Month, at the First Congregational Church, 38 Winooski Ave, in Burlington.
We’re growing and expanding on our mission to pursue racial justice within Vermont’s criminal justice system through advocacy, education, and relationship building. This expansion has led us to expand our work to housing, education, employment, health services and economic development because if systemic racism exists anywhere, it exists everywhere. Our analysis considers that although most black people are poor, most poor people are white. This analysis drives us to the intersection of poverty and of systemic racism. Our organizing meetings give us an opportunity share updates and focus membership and plan for the future.
Current standing agenda items include
1) Membership
2) Fundraising
3) Diversity, equity and inclusion in Burlington
