Dear Neighbors,
Kit O'Connor, a Ward 5 resident who has worked hard to organize a discussion for interested and concerned residents about welcoming Syrian refugees to Vermont, asked me to post the following invitation on the Ward 6 FPFs.
My best,
Karen
Via Ward 5 Resident Kit O’Connor:
Regardless of whether Burlington receives Syrian refugees, Amnesty International USA’s Vermont leadership has asked the Burlington City Council to consider a symbolic resolution welcoming them. In September, Councilors Selene Colburn and Joan Shannon will introduce this resolution. Why symbolic? What’s a refugee? Who would qualify? Come to a free informational/discussion event on September 7 from 6:30-8 at the Fletcher Free Library to learn answers to these questions, discuss hopes and concerns and more!
