4/18 The Drive Towards Justice continues: Getting legislative support for Driver's Licenses through grassroots action

An atmosphere of positive energy and a sense of organized chaos coated Room 10 of the State House on Wednesday, April 18th as more than 60 migrant workers, farmers, and community allies gathered to celebrate passing S-238, the study committee on drivers licenses, as a significant step towards building a movement for drivers licenses for all Vermont residents next year.

We kicked off the morning with a teach-in and constant revolving door of legislator visits who had been flooded with notes from constituents invited to come join us.

Dear friends of Migrant Justice,

 

We are writing to ask you to join us in our continued DRIVE TOWARDS HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL IN VT! S-238 passed with unanimous support in the Senate thanks to your support and an ad hoc alliance of farmworkers, farmers, human rights and food justice allies!


NOW WE'VE GOT TO MOVE S-238 THROUGH THE HOUSE!

Although, S-238 was changed into a study committee, we feel it creates a good ROAD MAP to  drive towards justice and for access to drivers licenses regardless of immigration status in VT.  For a great summary of our groundbreaking campaign go here.
