U.S. Attorney, Vermont Attorney General & Rutland Area NAACP to Co-Host Hate-Free Vermont Forum in Randolph
The United States Attorney’s Office, the Vermont Attorney General’s Office, and the Rutland Area NAACP will be co-hosting a Hate-Free Vermont Forum in Randolph on May 8, 2023, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This forum will be the fourth held in an ongoing series; last month, a Hate-Free Vermont Forum was held in St. Albans. Last year, forums took place in Rutland and Bennington.
“The Forum aims to bring policymakers, stakeholders, and community members together for productive and difficult conversations that will work to reduce animus, discord, and misunderstandings,” said Co-facilitator Etan Nasreddin-Longo. “Many community members have told us they do not feel comfortable reporting bias incidents to the police or feel that is not an effective option. What additional options for reporting and addressing harm and conflict already exist in your community, and what new or improved options would you like to see?”
Participants are welcome to share what they want their government officials to know about their experiences, and to ask questions of their government officials about bias and discrimination.
The Forum will be hosted in Randolph, and everyone from the Orange County community is invited to participate.
When: Monday, May 8, 2023, 5:30pm-7:30pm

- Physical location: Randolph Union Middle/High School – Cafeteria, 15 Forest St, Randolph, VT 05060
