Tempest Collective: Fund Services, Not Police and Prisons! 01/24/2023

From the organizer:

We are in the midst of multiple crises in our city, state, and country. The answer from both corporate parties seems to be more policing and more prisons instead of funding social services, education, jobs, and programs to overcome racial injustice.

Here in Burlington, Mayor Weinberger clamors to hire more police. And the state government is in the process of building 4 new prisons at the cost of $230 million. Such measures only enforce racial and class inequalities not redress them.

Come hear local activists speak out against this expansion of the carceral state, and lay out concrete alternatives for funding services - not police and prisons!

Speakers:
Jayna Asaf, Free Her Vermont
Jessica Laporte, People for Police Accountability
Paul Fleckenstein, Tempest Collective
Katie Harris, AFSCME 1674
