Our work is more important than ever now because the COVID-19 pandemic (as with any major crises) amplifies the the impact of systemic racism and poverty on black and brown and poor people. The good news is that the COVID-19 crises is now shining a light on the edifice of structures of oppression, giving our honest selves the fleeting opportunity to earnestly address them. We are working with impacted communities to understand the extent of their challenges and concerns, monitoring national, state and local responses to the pandemic and collaborating with the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance on public policy advocacy. Please do your part in saving lives. Unless absolutely necessary, please stay at home!
