Feb. 4th, 5 to 6:00 at Capital City Grange

Stephanie Yu, new Executive Director of the Public Assets Institute, will describe opportunities to use the legislative budgeting process to advance social, racial and economic equality. The talk will be based on PAI's "State of Working Vermont 2022" report, issued in December of '22. The report also describes how to build on the spirit of solidarity awakened by the pandemic, when many people came to understand that economic and social needs are shared–and deserving of collective attention and action, both by communities and government.

The PAI was formed in 2003, to conduct research, perform fiscal analysis, disseminate information and develop policies that apply the powers of government to improve the well-being of ordinary citizens, especially the most vulnerable. More information is available on their website: www.publicassets.org.
