From CVOEO:

To celebrate Fair Housing Month in April, Arts So Wonderful and the Fair Housing Project of CVOEO invited artists to submit work that answers the following question, “What makes a thriving, inclusive community?”.

The Fair Housing Act enshrined into law important protections against discrimination and harassment in housing. It is intended to increase housing opportunity and choice and dismantle historical patterns of segregation and exclusion. Artists are invited to consider the important ways the Fair Housing Act continues to shape our communities through the medium and visual language of your choice.

From the Office of Senator Welch:

Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.) joins Protect Our Winters (POW) and Vermont outdoor recreation leaders to celebrate Earth Week and unveil the Energizing Our Communities Act, legislation to support local communities that host Department of Energy (DOE) supported transmission projects. The program will help build trust between local governments and transmission developers so the nation can sustainably increase transmission capacity, which is crucial to a national clean energy transition. The Energizing Our Communities Act invests revenue from certain federal Department of Energy loan programs back into communities, including tribal governments, who host transmission infrastructure. This bill aims to support national transmission grid build-out by ensuring communities see the benefits of transmission at the ground level.

Who: Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.); Sam Masters, Protect Our Winters; John Atkinson, Executive Director of Catamount Outdoor Family Center; Ashley LaPorte, Vice President of Purpose & Impact, Burton; Ted Brady, Executive Director of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns; and Blake Keogh, Athlete.
