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:

- Supporting anti-racist actions and standing against racism at the local and national level
- Climate justice and climate change
