Hi all, I just wanted to reach out to let you know we’ve just passed 406 signatures on our petition! Thank you so much for your support!

Will you please take a moment RIGHT NOW to call and leave a message for the Civil Rights Division of the Vermont Attorney General to express your concerns?

CALL: (802) 828-3657

The AG will make a decision as soon as July 20th. You could say this simple script or your own variation:

"I am calling to ask the Attorney General to conduct a thorough investigation of Democracy Builders and the serious allegations presented by Black N Brown at DP. Approving the sale of the Marlboro College campus to Democracy Builders without answers to the questions posed by this collective would be irresponsible and shameful. I can't stand by and allow a white savior model of education to potentially inflict more trauma and abuse on Black and Brown children and adults. If we are silent we too are complicit in perpetuating systemic racism and abuse." 

Or email ago.civilrights@vermont.gov.

Let's put in one more effort to get a full and transparent investigation and to have Black N Brown at DP's questions answered by Seth Andrew and Democracy Builders. If the sale goes through our next step will be to figure out how to hold Democracy Builders accountable moving forward. 

If you haven't seen it, here is the letter released by the town of Marlboro Select Board also calling for a full and transparent investigation.

Thank you for staying in this fight.
