Who We Are

We are Vermonters (from Essex and surrounding VT communities including Williston, Jericho, Underhill, and Burlington) who are concerned about the current direction of our country. Unsure of how to make a difference we have gathered to support each other and, collectively, stand up and take action. We believe in the inherent dignity and equality for all human beings, a free and independent press, the constitution, and that climate change is a real man-made threat. We are committed to positivity, compassion, critical thinking, and non-violent resistance. We will create and join concrete non-violent civil actions that take us out of our comfort zone to make our voices heard.

Our Current Focus

As of the 2021/2022 our organization is focus on three primary areas:

  • Resting the growing anti-democratic tide of voter suppression and “the big lie”
  • Supporting anti-racist actions and standing against racism at the local and national level
  • Climate justice and climate change

What We Do

In the past year we have been very active on multiple fronts! Some of our group activities include:

    • Raised over $1,000 for Puerto Rico
    • Helped organize numerous political demonstrations and vigils
    • Collaborated and commiserated at local meetings
    • Enjoyed camaraderie at social events
    • Sent postcards and text messages in support of political change
    • Engaged in activism at both the local and federal level
