ACTION ALERT: Occupy Vermont, Put People First!
The Vermont Sierra Club stands with the common people of Vermont, the nation, and the world. We are supporting the historic Occupy Wall Street rallies and are calling on our members and our supporters to join with the Vermont Workers’ Center, the Vermont AFL-CIO,350VT, and others to demand economic equality, freedom, and environmental justice here in Vermont and beyond. On October 9th and on October 15th, there will be rallies around the state. We ask that you come to these demonstrations and tell the world that, “Corporate Greed is Bad for Workers and Wildlife!”

We have seen the government bailout Wall Street and the big corporate interests time and again, while our social services, our environmental regulations, our conservation funds are gutted to the bone. We say it is time for real change! It’s time for The People to be heard and to Put People First!
Therefore, the Vermont Sierra Club stands in solidarity with the tens of thousands of union members, students, and environmentalists who are currently taking a stand against corporate greed at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in NYC and across the world. We are the 99%!
Here in Vermont we join with the Vermont Workers Center, the Vermont AFL-CIO, and 350VT in calling for solidarity demonstrations around the state in the coming week. Together we are strong, and together we will win both environmental and economic justice for all!
“We must end the destruction of the natural environment – the environment upon which our lives depend.” -Vermont Workers’ Center, from their Occupy Wall Street Statement
