The community forum on Saturday was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who attended in person or watched the live-stream. If you missed the event, you can still watch the recording on the MCTV website. It was wonderful to be joined by Attorney General Charity Clark, Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas, Treasurer Mike Pieciak, and Representative Robin Scheu, all of whom shared so much information about how Vermont is both preparing for and fighting back against the destructive actions at the federal level. Thank you to the incredible staff at the Town Hall Theater for hosting the event and to Middlebury Community Television for broadcasting the event and sharing it statewide.
