Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Agriculture and Food Health and Health Care

People of color have always been part of the fabric of our state, from the stewardship of this land by the Abenaki people to the free and enslaved Black Americans who shaped our history to the migrant farmworkers who continue to keep our dairy industry alive. To allow all Vermonters to reach their full potential, our state must achieve racial and social justice. Kesha has put forward a five-part racial justice plan to promote racial justice in Vermont. Her proposal addresses health and economic equality in response to COVID-19, environmental and climate justice, criminal justice reform and reparations, and affirmative support of Black Vermonters.
​
All Vermonters, particularly Vermonters of color, deserve to know how candidates will advance an anti-racist platform in the legislature. As your State Senator, Kesha will fight to achieve equal employment, shared prosperity, and safe communities for all Vermonters.
