The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically shifted the political landscape in Vermont. In the months following the initial lockdown, the Vermont Legislature rightly focused most of their time and energy on supporting families and economic recovery.
Still, VNRC and VCV had the opportunity to advocate for recovery
efforts that will address the climate crisis, water quality, and invest in programs that employ people to build a more resilient, more equitable, and
healthier future.
We made the most of the virtual legislative session, advocating for environmental priorities and developing creative opportunities for legislators to learn about our issues. Together, our work led to some notable wins.
