Jinsi ya Kutazama Vikao vya Bunge Vya Moja kwa Moja na Vya Rekodi, Mikutano ya Umma, & Mikutano ya Kamati

Nafurahi kushiriki taarifa za kisheria na jamii zetu. Inaniletea furaha kubwa kuona kwamba, kila njia ya upatikanaji wa umma ambayo serikali ya shirikisho inafunga, Watu hupata njia ya kuunda kitu kipya.

Moja ya malengo yangu ya muda mrefu ni kusaidia watu wa kila siku (kama mimi mwenyewe) kuelewa mchakato wa kisheria kwa njia rahisi na ya haraka kueleweka. Hii, naamini, ndiyo ufunguo wa kuleta mabadiliko ya kimfumo.

Leo, ninawaletea viungo vya moja kwa moja kwa kurasa kadhaa rasmi za YouTube ambapo unaweza kutazama vikao vya kisheria muhimu vilivyorekodiwa na vya moja kwa moja. Katika wakati wako wa bure, angalia baadhi ya mada zinazozungumziwa. Nakuhakikishia utaona kuwa zinagusa maisha yako ya kila siku.

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...

Policy for The People - March 10, 2025

If you have any stake in Vermont’s education system—whether you're a parent, student, educator, bus driver, counselor, cafeteria staff member, school nurse, EMT, or in any other role—you should pay VERY close attention to the following draft bill (DR25-0937) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sQHbSTU1jXnl5TrLKpE0SUtppQPY4Iwc/view.   What’s the Point: This heavy-handed attempt to standardize education in Vermont proposes to do so by imposing harsh changes to current programs such as “school choice”. These changes largely target low-income and rural Vermonters. Most importantly, this is a very swift attempt to make changes to long-standing programs that have provided equitable education for many decades.   Why it Matters for All Vermonters: The kindergarten through 8th grade “tuitioning system” will be limited for everyone in the 802.   Increased financial and administrative burdens, especially on small districts These “one size fits all” changes do not consider equity for lo...

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 ...
