Description
At "What Equity Looks like in Burlington" the State Commissioner of Human Resources told us about the hiring of the State Executive Director of Racial Equity. Over 80 folks turned out and struggled with tough questions like How do WE address equity in Burlington? What are the three most important things that WE can do? What should WE do NEXT?
We came back to discuss what WE came up with and what WE can do next. We have got to move this equity discussion to action. This is where it starts. This time we're orienting ourselves to action on community matters of equity, diversity and inclusion.
We invited some some city officials back to hear what they are doing.
The Vermont Racial Justice Alliance Meeting precedes this event at the same venue. More information here: www.facebook.com/events/369391607094177

The proposed rules would allow cable companies to assign market values to these benefits and then charge the amount back to local communities in most cases. Benefits include items like free cable subscriptions to schools, discounts for the elderly, and fiber connectivity to local government buildings like police departments, fire stations, and libraries.
