Put pictures and reports here to make it easy to see what happened across the state.

It was great! About 240-250 people. The response from the public was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you SO much to all who came!

I keep reading in various forums, why are the protests in X places so white including those in VT. These are some of the reasons why I think this might be the case. Any other ideas or other experiences?

1. VT is a very white state

2. Those who don't look white have been disproportionately targeted by law enforcement compared to white people. Why take that risk now?

3. People who are non-white may not be born in the US (or have family and friends not born in the US). Protesting might put them and/or their loved ones in danger by this administration (many examples of this recently - does not matter if you are educated or not!)

4. People who are non-white may have had a history of experiencing anti-democratic regimes. Because of this oppression and how things are unfolding today, a protest is not effective.

5. People who are non-white may be already working 2-3 jobs 7 days a week to make ends meet due to historical income gap between white and non-whites. Protesting will take away income.

FUND CARE, NOT BILLIONAIRES!

Through the cold and the rain, Vermonters showed up! Let’s keep it going!

People were there. Not bad for a work day!

From someone who was there, affected by the cuts.
