From VRJA:

Please join us for 5th Annual Vermont First African Landing Day.

This year’s theme of First African Landing Day “Through the Fire” embodies the resilience and strength of American Descendants of Slavery. For over 15 generations Black folks in the United States have consistently triumphed over seemingly insurmountable oppression.

The Vermont Racial Justice Alliance’s establishment of First African Landing Day was inspired by the creation of the 400 Year African American History Commission and the 1619 Project. Governor Philip B. Scott’s supporting Proclamation encourages Vermonters to “…expand understanding and appreciation of the significance of the arrival of Africans in the United States and the contributions of African Americans in the United States.” The Governor has proclaimed that the 4th Saturday of August “shall be henceforth recognized and Commemorated as First African Landing Day in Vermont”.

From Vermont Racial Justice Alliance:

Are you interested in learning more about Proposition 2, the constitutional amendment to prohibit slavery in Vermont?

This session provides much needed background to help us understand why it is NECASSARY to amend the Vermont Constitution to prohibit slavery in all forms. We’ll provide details on the legislative, public and executive processes that have taken place to bring us to this important stage of the process of constitutionally prohibiting slavery in all forms in the State of Vermont.

From VIA and VTRJA:

After the Primary elections are over VIA and our partner Vermont Racial Justice Alliance are gearing up our Prop 2 campaign to abolish slavery, no exceptions.

This virtual event features a research report reminding us of the history of the Vermont constitution and slavery, testimonies from those who have pledged to vote in favor of Prop 2, and inspiration to motivate you to see this through to the finish line in November!
