We stand with Black communities in condemning police brutality and systemic racism, and in affirming that all Black lives – the lives of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Black protesters, and Black children – matter.

The Alliance firmly believes that recognizing and dismantling systems of oppression is critical to the well-being of Vermont’s young children and families. As we all feed, house, educate, and advocate for Vermont’s children, we must do everything we can to raise a generation that will treat each other better than we have. To do so, we must listen to Black Vermonters, learn from them, follow their lead, and take action.
