Join FreeHer VT and the Education Justice Coalition for a march and panel event! As coalition members, we are proud co-sponsors of this upcoming program.
Vermont Corrections general fund spending increased 335% between 1985 and 2017. By comparison, total general funding spending on education increased by just 57% over the same time period (Blueprint for Smart Justice VT). At this event we’ll be marching from the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility to a school to demonstrate our commitment to moving resources. Upon gathering we’ll hear from FreeHer on their important campaign to stop the building of a new Women's Prison in Vermont. Then join us at the school for a shared meal and community panel to hear from students, educators, and community members on this topic.
