जनताको लागि नीति - फेब्रुअरी ६, २०२५

 

र रीतिरिवाज अनुसार, अमेरिकाको पहिलो गैरकानूनी निवासीहरूको लागि ग्वान्टानामो बेमा रहेको कन्सन्ट्रेशन क्याम्पको आधिकारिक उद्घाटनको दिन, म तपाईंलाई तीनवटा विधेयक ल्याउँछु जसले तपाईंको दैनिक जीवनलाई असर पुर्याउन सक्छ (यसमा एक हालै जारी भएको आप्रवासन प्रस्ताव पनि समावेश छ जसले गैरकानूनी भर्मन्टका निवासीलाई अस्थायी रूपमा सुरक्षा दिन सक्छ)।

सधैंझै, तपाईं कुनपनि पक्षमा हुनुहुन्छ भने पनि, तपाईंको आवाज महत्त्वपूर्ण छ। कृपया आफ्ना विधायिका वा विधेयक प्रायोजकहरूसँग सम्पर्क गरेर तपाईंको समर्थन देखाउनुहोस् र यो जानकारीलाई समुदायका सदस्यहरूलाई पठाउनुहोस् जसलाई विधायिका प्रक्रियामा पहुँच नहुन सक्छ। यो जानकारी सरल, निःशुल्क र पहुँचयोग्य बनाउन डिज़ाइन गरिएको छ।

यो जनताको लागि नीति हो।

My Last Plea as a Black Vermonter - A Very Open Letter

Image
I write this note feeling simultaneously heavy-hearted and freed. September 16, 2023 would have been five years that I have lived in this state.   Five years since I left my life in Mississippi thinking NO PLACE could be more racist (tuh). Five years of serving on multiple civic boards that claim they want equity, but build walls in the face of progression. Five years of being called racial slurs with no one to protect me from it and no one to check their white supremacist friends. Five years of confederate flags, don’t tread on me flags, and strategically placed Donald Dump paraphernalia. Five years of watching MANY of my friends and their very young Black children suffer from the same mental anguish I have experienced while existing as a Black person in Vermont. September 16, 2023 should be a time for celebration. Instead, it is a time for reflection as I leave the state to pursue equity work in a place that actually wants it. You may note that within this introduction I have not...

The State's Budget - Policy for The People May 5, 2025

Understanding the State's Budget and Why the Governor is Battling with Legislators Why This Matters: The state's budget determines where each and every dime of your (our) tax dollars are spent. Everything from school funding, to housing budgets, to roads/transportation, to farms/agriculture, etc. are included in the state's budget. A full breakdown of what is included in the budget is here:  https://spotlight.vermont.gov/state-budget Why the Governor is Battling with the Legislature (as usual): The Honorable Governor Phil B. Scott has vetoed two versions of this session's budget adjustment proposals (in terms we can all understand: he said NO  to proposed adjustments twice) . You can look at both vetoes here:  https://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/vetoed/2026 In his message about the first refusal, Governor Scott stated a refusal to support the proposal because, "spending additional general funds in the budget adjustment for expenses that are not time sensitive is ...

It's Been a Year.

* (See: It’s Been a Year by Ashley Cooke) * A Formal Introduction   Actually, it has been 1 year, 4 months, and 21 days (or 509 days total) since I wrote, “My Last Plea as a Black Vermonter” begging all of you (Vermonters, legislators, civil servants, and European descendants in general) to consider Black Vermonters in all aspects of our shared social and economic realms. In that year(ish) I spent the majority of my time in Minneapolis fueling Black-owned nonprofits through grant writing and stretching my wings amongst my community in ways I did not imagine were possible.   Over that year I also received thousands of responses to the first Black Paper. Scattered across Facebook, Twitter (yes...Twitter), Instagram, rebuttal articles, and via email: there was a plethora of commentary to choose from. I read every bit and I want to take the time to highlight the overwhelming amount of support that I received and the desire to support Vermont’s Black community. There was an ...
