Safe and equitable public schools for all Vermont students
Strong public schools are a foundation of a strong multiracial democracy. Across race, geography, and economic background, all Vermont youth deserve a high-quality, fully-funded, equitable, and honest public education within a safe learning environment. As certain powerful interests seek to silence critical dialogue, divide our communities, and undermine our public schools, we must come together to win a future in which all Vermont students can thrive.

In the face of efforts to prohibit teaching systemic racism and sexism, we are organizing our communities to deepen institutional commitments to honest, inclusive, and high-quality education, and bolster equity in our schools. This work is affiliated with the national H.E.A.L. Together Initiative.
The data shows that the presence of School Resource Officers has a disproportionately harmful impact on Black and brown students and students with disabilities. We are working to ensure our schools put students’ needs first and make them feel safe, not criminalized.
