Check out the monthly Rights & Democracy TV show (RADTV). This month we hear a report back from one of the several Rights & Democracy members who attended the People’s Summit in Chicago last weekend (June 17-19th). Hear updates about the Political Revolution in Vermont from RAD Leadership Committee member Kate Logan, who has been part of the candidate endorsement process and a report back on last night’s Political Revolution Party at Higher Ground.

Rights and Democracy shares perspectives leading to a vision for a state in which every Vermonter earns a livable wage and has access to affordable health care, and where a progressive and equitable tax system supports an economy that protects the environment and human rights. We believe Vermont can lead our country in a new direction towards happy, healthy, and just communities for everyone.
