The following Declaration of Inclusion will be voted on at the March 2 Town Meeting as part of a statewide effort by the Governor and Chambers of Commerce to engage municipalities in celebrating diversity in Vermont and as a path to policies and planning to enrich all citizens.
It reads as follows:
The Town of Westminster welcomes all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, differing ability, socio-economic status, and education.
The Town of Westminster commits to being a place where individuals may live freely and express their opinions without fear, where kindness and respect are valued, and where all persons feel safe and welcome.
As a town, we condemn discrimination in all its forms and will strive to ensure that all our actions, policies, and operating procedures reflect this commitment.
Anyone with questions is invited to attend an Information Meeting on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. at the Westminster Institute. Local state representatives and Al Wakefield, one of the founding organizers, will be there along with Lise Sparrow and Sarah Waldo who are work- ing on this locally. Everyone is welcome in person or remotely via Zoom.
