COURTESY OF 350VT
Our demands here in Vermont are the same as our global demands: stop fossil fuels and build a 100% renewable energy future that works for all. At 350VT, our local 350-affiliated group, we’re working toward this vision everyday.
Join 350VT this fall for trainings, actions, community building, and fun to strengthen the climate movement in our state. Sign up for updates and check out the calendar of events below.
At 350VT, we’re focused on the “4Rs” – resist, reform, reimagine, and recreate.1 There’s a place for everyone in this movement, and in this whirlwind moment of weekly climate-fueled disasters and daily threats to planetary-scale well-being, we need all kinds of change-makers.
Our local group meetings are a great way to get involved and help shape our work. We meet regularly in Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Manchester, Montpelier, and White River Junction. Check out our calendar for dates and locations.
Here are some exciting events and trainings this fall:
