From the Office of Senator Bernie Sanders:

Vermonters come together around music and the arts at events hosted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and singer-songwriter Grace Potter. Taking place Saturday, August 5, in South Burlington at 4:00 P.M., the events feature performances by Potter and young local artists. Sanders and Potter speak with these young artists and guests about how to advance the arts in Vermont and create more opportunities for young Vermont artists across the state.

Students from the Richard Kemp Center visit Town Meeting TV Studios to learn about free speech and public media.

From Migrant Justice:

Dairy workers and faith leaders from around the country picket in front of a Hannaford supermarket to denounce human rights abuses in the company’s dairy supply chain and to call on the grocery chain to join the Milk with Dignity program.

Milk with Dignity implements a farmworker-authored Code of Conduct setting standards for labor and housing conditions on dairy farms. Participating companies require dairy suppliers to enroll in the Program and pay a premium to cover raises and improvements. Workers are educated on their rights in the Program, and standards are enforced by an independent monitor.
