Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy
Mission: Black lives matter vermont is a growing network of individuals, families and businesses invested in the liberation of black vermonters, and the deactivation of systemic racism endured by all people of color in our state. Black lives matter vermont is an official non-profit organization recognized by the state of vermont, is in close communication with the national black lives matter organization, and is in the processing of becoming an official national chapter. Blm vt shares the same vision with the national movement and has a local vision as well. We identify as a peaceful, non-violent movement. The premise behind our existence is to stop the violence against black people.
Programs: Black lives matter vt held various events in the community and at it's base location. Events such as sister's keeper conferences, black lives matter day, kwanzaa, junteenth bbq, community breakfast and dinners, public meetings, workshops and trainings were all included in the year. We had many opportunities to collaborate with other community organizations to promote intersectionality and community building through self empowerment. We had a women's retreat and children's book drive that provided solutions to lack of resources in our community. We collaborated with a local college and national women's organization to participate in the black women's march in d. C. Our community space affords a safe place to be for recreation, business, or rest.
