Racial Justice

LET’S TALK ABOUT
RACE

ARE YOU A PERSON OF COLOR?
ARE YOU 18 OR OLDER?
HAVE YOU LIVED IN VERMONT FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS?

The Peace and Justice Center is hosting a series of six focus groups to better understand the state of multi-culturalism in our community. We are actively seeking people who are interested in talking about race. Forums will be held throughout the state during October and November.  We need your input to move our collective work forward. 

Let your voice inspire change in Vermont.
