Presidential Election

From the organizers:

On Inauguration Day, January 20th, people will come together in Burlington to demand a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite. With voices raised for workers’ rights, immigrant rights, and environmental justice, we will call for an end to the genocide in Gaza, the U.S. war machine, and the rule of billionaires.

Led by Students for Justice in Palestine, The Union of Students, Young Democratic Socialists of America, and Graduate Students United, we will convene a UVM contingent to attend the mass mobilization on January 20th.

The plan is to meet in front of the Waterman building on January 20th at 10:30 am and march together to City Hall Park, where the main rally will be at 11:00.

After days of counting, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are declared the presumptive winners of both the popular and electoral college votes for the President and Vice-President of the United States. Spontaneous celebrations broke out from 11 in the morning to nightfall in cities around the country, including Burlington, VT. This is a compilation of crowdsourced footage from around Burlington on that Saturday.
