Our Voices, Our Stories: A Healthcare is a Human Right Storytelling Training (Vermont Workers’ Center)
This event is hosted by the Vermont Workers’ Center, one of our allied organizations!
————————————————————————————————
Join us for a special training on how to use our health care stories to organize and win health care for all.
Health care access, affordability, and poverty were all preexisting conditions before the pandemic. Now more than ever we need to fulfill the promise of a universal health care system in Vermont that puts people first.
Learn how we can use our stories to push back against health care privatization and consolidation, which threatens access to healthcare in all of our communities.

This is a public event open to everyone. You don’t have to have a story prepared, just come and join us!
UVM in Crisis
Join us for a live debate this week… If you are affiliated with the University of Vermont, then we ask you to take action this week. In the last several months, the UVM Administration has made several unilateral decisions that will, if not reversed, dangerously impact our future, including the Covid-19 health and safety of Vermont.
Safe and Just Reopening of VT Schools
Decisions to reopen schools are discussed and decided by Zoom; this is contradictory to insist that schools reopen! We must keep students and school workers safe! (If you’re having a Zoom conference to decide whether to reopen schools, maybe there’s your answer!)
Uniting Communities for Safe and Just Schools: Learning with Public School Unionists around the Country
Please join us for a panel discussion featuring four educators and rank-and-file union leaders from around the country. Our panelists will share lessons from their experience using social justice and common good demands to energize rank and file members and build community support.
UVM United Against Cuts Car Rally
Join us to tell the UVM administration that the faculty, staff, and service workers who have supported students through this pandemic are ESSENTIAL and NOT DISPOSABLE. SHOW US THE BOOKS, and if cuts are needed, CHOP FROM THE TOP!
Meet at 12 noon in the Staples parking lot on Williston Road for this car rally. We will circle the campus and the Englesby, the UVM president's house. This rally will observe strict social distancing guidelines, so affix legible signs to your car with your message such as "UVM Students Depend on Essential Workers" and "No cuts to faculty and staff." Check back for more route and rally details.
Not in town? Can't make the rally? Post a selfie with your message for a virtual protest to support the car rally and amplify our message!
