Gain insight on what matters to LGBTQ+ youth!
We are now living under an administration that has launched an all-out assault on trans youth, weaponizing policies and funding to strip their rights and therefore, the very ability to exist safely in this country. But at the end of the day, this is not just about healthcare—it is part of a much larger, coordinated effort, anchored as all oppressive tactics are, in white supremacy.
As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and mark the start of a new chapter on Inauguration Day, we hold space for the mix of emotions today brings. We see young people leading with courage and creativity, carrying Dr. King’s vision forward. They remind us that this work is far from over, and every one of us has a role to play.
City leaders and law enforcement must act swiftly to remove hateful graffiti and hold those responsible accountable. At the same time, we must continue to foster education, restorative justice programs, and visible allyship, all critical tools to building a culture that rejects hate. Vermont can be a state that respects free expression and refuses to tolerate hate. By standing together, we create a community where belonging is all of ours.
