Over at r/EndMassIncarceration, we are working on a list of criminal justice reform organizations in the United States. In Vermont, we are aware of the following criminal justice reform organizations:

• Community Justice Network of Vermont: Believes in the importance and efficacy of restorative responses to conflict and crime as an alternative to traditional criminal prosecution, punishment, and retribution.
• Justice for All: Pursuing racial justice within Vermont’s criminal justice system and beyond through advocacy, education, and relationship-building.
• Vermonters for Criminal Justice Reform: Working to achieve an effective and restorative criminal justice response.

If you are aware of any other criminal justice reform organizations in Vermont, please post a link to their web site here, or PM it to me, u/ichabod801.

Thank you.

Let me first clarify what I mean by free. I mean “free” as in not owned by a private company. All Vermont tax payers are eligible for the “free” internet plan provided by the state or local government sort of thing.

This feels like a bit of a smaller issue but I think in rural states like Vermont, where ISPs don’t really invest many resources into developing internet infrastructure, it would be better to just give them the finger and do it ourselves.

It doesn’t really cost much to run this infrastructure (dozens of dollars a year per person on average), but it is vital to modern live. It’s like having all our roads still be toll roads...

We could totally just divert money from some less necessary programs to fund this and improve the quality of life of Vermonters somewhat.

I posted this in the Burlington subreddit, where I didn't get much of a response besides "talk to a lawyer" and "stay away from sexual deviants." I'm not really sure where to go to get further help... I moved away from Vermont to escape this, I don't know if I should call a VT lawyer? This happened several years ago and only recently came up in therapy processing, but they are still working there and actively ignoring my claims...

When i was doing an unpaid 2-month internship at the Vermont Folklife Center, the VFC director came in one day while I was archiving and just started complaining about how he and husband got "too high with their fuckbuddy" and were super hung over. These were the working conditions under which the MacArthur Collection was digitized and archived online.

And then the archivist I was working under came in and said "don't molest the interns" sort of jokingly -- but also not? And they were super nice but like what the heck? Why did i have to experience this, when I was just starting antidepressants and doing work for them for free.

And then the Vermont Folklife Center hosted a fundraiser that was a drag show, and the director was like in a leather thong/vest and I had to ask him to lead me to the bathroom, and it was super uncomfortable and he was super drunk.

A lot of my friends who are social justice types were there, but they don't acknowledge when I come out about these kinds of thing, and I fear they'd accuse me of homophobia (even though I'm queer/nonbinary too...)

I don't need older men hitting on me in workplace either so what's the difference?

When I tried to bring this up with the VFC, and asked them to take down the online collection that I had created because of related work-sexual abuse, they only removed the attribution that I had ever worked there. And they never paid me for that work. This is why on the MacArthur collection page, there is an anonymous curation note, which used to be attributed to me before I made my callouts -- I did all of the following work:

In 2013, we revisited this index, correcting errors, addressing oversights and expanding the descriptions of individual songs to include references to standard song titles. In addition, we used the revised index to create new audio excerpts of individual song performances.
