#vtpoli Why aren't we continuing to talk about this like 2020? VT is not immune to racism - it's a public health emergency. We can't look away.
#SonyaMassey autopsy findings: The 36-yo was shot in the face beneath her left eye. The bullet then traveled out of the back of her neck, confirming that the now-fired deputy shot in a downward trajectory, & as a result Sonya died from a gunshot wound to the head. #Justice4Sonya
As a delegate to the DNC, I am super excited to go to Chicago and represent young voices in the fight to beat Trump. I would appreciate any support you might be able to give towards my travel. #vtpoli

Halloween at the height of COVID. I was a cow. And even then, Dick Sears talked to me and offered to meet with me to discuss social issues. Thank you, Senator Sears. Rest in peace. #vtpoli
Thank you CLiF and @jambobooks for the books for @vsarn802! We are so excited to bring these to students around the state!! <3 #vtpoli @vtdigger @sevendaysvt
Thank you @zuckermanforvt for leading the banned book reading in Benn, along with Mia Schultz, Emily Maikoo, and Susan Prue. It was a robust discussion along the political spectrum; we need ALL of us to be part of this discussion to make change. #vtpoli

It's homelessness awareness day. #vtpoli is working hard to keep people safely housed but there's more to be done to keep people like Thierry safe. Join me at the Bennington Theater on Sun. @ 2pm for a play & discussion on this topic.

Join me and @zuckermanforvt for a conversation on banned books at Fiddlehead at Four Corners in Bennington. Over 3000 books were banned last school year, and it's time to fight back. Join us on January 29th! #vtpoli
Thank you @vtdems for this amazing experience! What an honor to speak with @VermontSOS, @David_Zuckerman, @BernieSanders, and many more! And thank you @BeccaBalintVT for the personal message. Can't wait for what's to come! #vtpoli
The @vtdems held a fall fundraiser in Waterbury & honored VSARN founder, #vted reformer & homeless advocate @Addie06174 ("amazing work ... a leader") with the Leahy Award w/Zach Scheffler & Esther Charles. @SenSanders spoke. @VermontSOS
Powerful convos - I was told about babies sleeping on the streets and people freezing with the cold front already upon us. But there are solutions - As Henry said - "why not led by people like us?" #vtpoli
VSARN founder and #vted reformer @Addie06174 continues her Havurah work here by talking to homeless folks in a team effort to provide food, shelter, services. #vtpoli
Guess what? @vsarn802 became a 501c3 - run by youth - and we need donations! Recent projects include reading books to kids, making change posters with high schoolers, and meeting up in person! Donate here: bit.ly/vsarndonate
