The Senate passed Vermont’s Environmental Justice Bill (S.148) 28-1! Only Senator Ingalls opposed this historic bill. Congratulations to Senators @Bray4VT, @SenatorBalint, & @KeshaRam for their work to ensure no group of Vermonters bears an unfair share of environmental harms.

S.113 holds corporate polluters accountable for the harm they cause - both to Vermonters and to our environment. It’s what Vermonters deserve.

Thank you @SenatorBalint and @michelle4vt for meeting with us! We are inspired by your commitment to racial justice and can't wait to see the array of racial justice bills you pass this session!
This #MLKDay I'm inspired by the VT Student Anti-Racism Network. I met with them yesterday to discuss a bill that would create an anti-racist certification for VT schools. I love these teens' commitment to make our schools a better place for ALL VTers.
