Burlington Progressive Party City Caucus 09/22/2019

At the Burlington Progressives for a City Caucus we hear from our Progressive City Councilors and state elected officials.

The purpose of the meeting is to elect a new Burlington Progressive Steering Committee and delegates to the Chittenden County Progressive Committee to lead our Party for the next two years. Any eligible Burlington voter who supports the Progressive Party is encouraged to join us and vote in the election for Party leadership. You could even run yourself if you are interested in getting more involved.

Last March was an incredibly successful election for us and showed that Progressives are moving forward in building our progressive vision of social, economic, climate, and racial justice across our City. But… we can’t let up now. There is so much happening in Burlington, and we need your voice at the table if we are going to continue moving our city in a progressive direction. We also need to prepare for March 2020 when all 8 City Council seats are up for election and we will have a chance add more Progressive voices to the council.

Please join us to support a progressive vision of social, economic, climate, and racial justice in Burlington.
