VSEA is encouraging members to join this important rally, which is being sponsored by Let’s Grow Kids. Here’s what it’s all about:
Three out of five of Vermont youngest kids don’t have access to the child care they need. This affects their development, it affects their parents, and it affects employers who can’t fill open positions. But we can change that.
On April 12, Vermonters from every corner of the state will meet on the State House lawn to rally for accessible, affordable child care. Our lawmakers are currently working on a child care solution and they need your support. It’s going to take courage from all of us to get this over the finish line.
Join VSEA at the Courage to Care Rally as we support our lawmakers in passing the child care solution. RSVP today!

The Times Argus recently covered Saturday’s VSC Board of Trustees meeting in Montpelier, where, during the public comment portion of the meeting, Board members received a lot of blowback for the administration’s recent library decision. Pictured here is VSEA VSC Unit Chair Billie Neathawk delivering her remarks to the Board opposing the plan.
From the Argus story:
Community members questioned why those within the system would seek feedback and input from them on certain topics, like libraries, when that input is ignored. They urged the board to listen to them and their desire to keep books in libraries. They talked about the damage this announcement has already caused to recruitment efforts, noting the announcement was made at a critical time in recruitment.

Plainfield resident Glenda Bissex said while she had taught at Johnson previously, she was there to represent the community. Bissex said she was dismayed the sign-in sheet for the meeting asked the participant what institution they were part of and their title, as if the board did not want nor expect to hear from the community.
