The proposed closure of three of our state college campuses shows that the 1% is just beginning their plan to make the working class pay for the economic crisis started with COVID-19. But the car protest on April 20th shows us that when we fight, we can win: Northern Vermont University and Vermont Technical College will stay open this fall, and Chancellor Spaulding was forced to resign.

The attacks against public education in Vermont are just beginning, and we must fight back to win access to quality, FREE education, from preschool to university. Join us for a stellar panel of Vermont educators and organizers as they discuss the work they are doing to fund their schools and how you can get involved in this fight.
