Politics & Government

From the organizer:

Burlington has new city leadership. Now is the time to hold our elected officials accountable and learn how you can plug into the movement.

From the Climate Action Collective:

The Climate Action Collective is a multi-collegiate group based in Burlington, VT, sponsored by 350VT. As a student-led, grass-roots climate action group, students of the C.A.C have recognized your commitment and passion for environmentalism, and encourage you to meet everyone else who's doing equally amazing work. The key to achieving a healthier Vermont is by creating a strong network of like-minded, environmentally passionate people - that's why YOU’RE invited.

The Climate Action Collective is dedicated to mitigating the effects of the climate crisis for the Burlington, Vermont community and greater Vermont area. We are passionate about connecting all Burlington students in the fight for environmental justice. We fight for clean resources and sustainable energy for all people in Vermont.

From the Secretary of State's Office:

Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas announced a two-part series of virtual forums which her office will co-host with the League of Women Voters of Vermont (LWVVT) to discuss Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). As interest has grown in RCV, in the state legislature and among municipalities, interest groups and voters, the Secretary and LWVVT hope these discussions will inform the debate and raise the profile of this system of voting.

The first forum is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st, from 7:00-8:30pm on Zoom. This session will offer an overview of Ranked Choice Voting, covering key concepts and presenting a simulation for participants to engage in to better understand what RCV is and how it works. Experts from the Ranked Choice Voting Resource Center will guide the session.

The Vermont Secretary of State and the League of Women Voters will be promoting the forums in the coming weeks.
