This week features three Candidate forums focused on:
- Developing a health care system that works for everyone
- Affordable childcare and access to quality early education
- Access to jobs and the impact of cuts to public services
These forums focus on local (house and senate) candidates. This week includes forums in St. Johnsbury, Rutland and Brattleboro.
| Oct. 12: | St. Johnsbury | 6:30pm | Catamount Arts, 115 Eastern Ave |
| Oct. 13: | Rutland | 6:30 | Rutland Free Library, 10 Court Street |
| Oct. 14: | Brattleboro, | 6:30pm | Bratt. Union H.S., Multi-purpose Room |
The forums are sponsored by the Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign – Vermont Workers’ Center, Vermont Early Educators United – American Federation of Teachers and the Vermont Center for Independent Living.
This will be a great opportunity to meet your local candidates and find out more about their positions and policies. Democratic, Republican and Progressive candidates local to the site’s district have been invited, but not all have chosen to attend (no Republicans showed up for the White River Junction forum last week).
I will be live blogging the Brattleboro Forum.
