To the editor:
March 28, “No King’s Day,” brought thousands of Vermonters together in protest of the Trump administration’s cruel and authoritarian regime. In Morrisville alone, hundreds of people came to make their voices heard. Lamoille Valley Visibility Brigade continues to rally and organize and we invite you to join us. Our rallies are weekly at the four corners in Morrisville, Fridays from 4 to 5 and Saturdays from noon to 1 (these times might vary, check the Lamoille Valley Visibility Brigade Facebook page for updates and special announcements). We are also meeting to organize for the mid-term elections, to strategize around getting out the vote, and to educate people about their power to reverse this nightmare of fear and oppression that has overtaken our country.
Hope is hard to come by at present. But as Robert Reich wrote in “The Guardian” on April 5, “From the rubble left by the Trump regime, it’s possible to envision an economy premised on inclusive prosperity, a democracy based on political equality, and a system in which power is widely shared.” I would add, only if we join together to work towards those goals.
