Tune into Vermont Edition on @vermontpublic.org today, Mon. 2/2/26, for a noontime program on homeless encampments in Brattleboro, Vermont. Listen in at 12:30 to hear from me and a colleague on the Brattleboro Selectboard. #VTpoli
The admin has deployed Vermont National Guard members with F-35 fighter jets to support the war of aggression in Venezuela. When the Guard is sent to fight unconstitutional foreign wars like this one, they aren’t here for our communities. Take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/recl... #VTpoli
As this year ends, we’re carrying forward people-powered resistance to war, militarism, and starvation.
If you believe everyday people can still change U.S. policy, consider supporting Action Corps’ organizing going into the new year: fnd.us/ActionCorps2...

Conservatives and liberals can come together around this call for #GlobalCrisisRelief in the form of international funds that don’t add to countries’ debt. Great to see high-profile Republicans taking a stand for this.

This report cites the work of the coalition Action Corps (@actioncorps.org) led starting in 2020 that secured the release of massive IMF resources called #SDRs for the developing world. This is a critical option in light of decimation of #USAID. cepr.net/publications...
So good to talk with a policy expert in DC who really values organizing around the country. @timhirschelburns.bsky.social understands the critical importance of people power when it comes to changing U.S. military and global economic policy. Check out his work!

The Brattleboro Reformer has reported that the lockout of the bus drivers and monitors has been dropped, and that they are now allowed back to work. Good news for students, families, and the people who drive our young people to and from school! #VTpoli
Update that the lockout has ended. No need to picket — for now, anyway.
Picket schedule for this week:
—> TUESDAY, 9/2—BUHS 7:30-9:45am and 2:00-4:15pm
—> WEDNESDAY, 9/3—Academy School 7:15-9:30am and 1:45-3:45pm
—> THURSDAY, 9/4—Green Street School 7:15-9:30am and 1:45-3:45pm
The drivers and monitors appreciate any amount of time folks can show up for. 4/4
Teamsters Local 597 and community supporters are picketing to get Kuzmeskus to go back to the table, stop the lockout, and get our bus drivers back to work. I'll be there bright and early Tuesday morning. Will you join us? 3/
Kuzmeskus, which is owned by an out-of-state private-equity firm, has locked out school bus drivers and monitors for the Windham Southeast district. It has been chaos for students and families, with scab drivers who don’t know our community or our streets. 2/
