VSEA Executive Director Steve Howard holds up a poster-size version of an ad VSEA recently ran in Seven Days. The poster was on display at last night’s VSEA Legislative Reception at the State House. Read the text from the ad below.
- The number of safe locations in Vermont to take care of youth in need of services has fallen by half.
- Calls to the Department for Children and Families staff to watch sometimes violent youth have doubled in just one year.
- Youth access to guns and gangs is growing – the public’s safety is at risk.
Vermont’s children and social workers need your help. Vermont does not have a system in place to protect kids or the workers who care for them. Our kids are in danger of falling through the cracks.
Vermont Can’t Wait To Act! The Crisis Is Getting Worse. We Need You To Take Action! Call Governor Scott, and Vermont’s Legislators and tell them to take urgent action NOW!
- Governor Scott: (802) 828-3333
- Leave a message for your Senators & Representatives: (802) 828-2228
