Hello Racial Justice Reform Coalition Members,
You have likely already spoken with Mark or myself or will hear from
another member of our core team about the following information. We wanted

H.492 and S.116 and make sure you are up to speed about what is coming

? The Mission for your VIA Committee: ?working for systemic change in our society.? Paraphrasing Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.  ? the Good Samaritan?s good deeds were not systemic change. Reducing the number of robberies on the Jericho Road would be systemic change.? Changing Vermont?s laws in order to reduce homelessness would be systemic change and is difficult. Your UCM VIA needs help from our congregation to reach that goal. We are available each Sunday after church during the current legislative session for questions. Thanks to the few who have helped us and to those will do so.

Sorry I can't make it, Joan, much as I'd like to be there.  The event is
also posted on the Central Vermont Solidarity facebook page, with
notifications going out to all members, so hopefully that will draw more
protestors.  This is outrageous!  So glad we met yesterday.  Thanks.

Joan,

I cancelled my presentation with my clients. I realize I should be there
with the resistance today. I would appreciate riding up to Burlington with
you. I'll be in the church lot at 10:30 a.m. if that is still available.
Thanks,

Mike

My car is now full. If you are going and can offer a ride, please reply to
the list.

The march will begin a little farther down Church St because of a memorial
service at the Burlington UU church. March will go to to the federal
building and back.

My cell phone is 802-829-7420 if anyone needs to reach me about the event
this morning.

Joan

Sounds like there will be a rally today at 5pm at the State House in support of the three Migrant Justice activists who were targeted by ICE last week.

Just wanted to let you all know.

Thanks for sharing, Jason! The rally actually begins at 4pm. This is the
Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1496506233748685/.

You can read the updated press release
<http://migrantjustice.net/news/updated-press-release-on-recent-ice-detentions>
from Migrant Justice for recent news about the situation.

And, here is a list of other things you can do to support Alex, Enrique,
and Zully:

(Please note number 4. You may remember that Enrique came to speak at UCM
last year. It would be worth writing a letter of support talking about that
experience.)


   1. For those in Vermont, *come to a rally*! There will be two rallies on
   Tuesday, in *Montpelier on the State House steps at 4pm
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6081&qid=500505>*,
   and in *Brattleboro at Pliny Park at 5pm
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6081&qid=500505>.*
   2. If you haven?t already signed the *petitions*, please do so now for
   Alex
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6082&qid=500505>
    and Kike & Zully
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6083&qid=500505>,
   then share these petitions with your friends and on social media.
   3. *Make calls* to Vermont ICE director Jeff Curtis at 802-527-3801
   <(802)%20527-3801> and 802-309-1206 <(802)%20309-1206> and the Boston
   Field office at 781-359-7500 <(781)%20359-7500> to demand the immediate
   release of Jose Enrique Balcazar Sanchez (DOB 3/9/93), Zully Victoria
   Palacios Rodriguez (DOB 5/14/93) and Alex Carrillo (DOB 9/26/93), and for
   ICE to drop their deportation cases.
   4. If you personally know Kike, Zully, or Alex, *write a letter of
   support* to the Immigration Judge. Read these instructions for more
   information
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6084&qid=500505>
   .
   5. *Donate to Migrant Justice
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6085&qid=500505>!*
These
   arrests are a direct attack on the ability of Vermont?s immigrant
   farmworkers to organize for rights and dignity. Migrant Justice is
   committed to moving the struggle forward, and indeed, this is what our
   detained leaders expect of us.
*We are undeterred in continuing our Northeast Speaking Tour for the Milk
   with Dignity campaign
   <http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6086&qid=500505>,
   calling on Ben & Jerry?s to follow through on its 2015 commitment to stand
   up for the human rights of farmworkers in its dairy supply chain! *

Friends,

House Appropriations is considering approximately $8M in budget cuts in
order to close its remaining budget gap for the next fiscal year, FY 18.
This afternoon a majority of members voted to *eliminate the Cold Weather
Exemption (CWE) for GA Emergency Housing*.

*Please email House Appropriations members as soon as possible* to ask them
to restore this vital program.  Address your email to Rep. Kitty Toll,
House Appropriations Chair, with cc to committee members and staff (see
addresses below).

The specific proposal is to eliminate the CWE by cutting $344,000 from the
GA Emergency Housing budget and leave $150,000 in ?flexible spending? to be
spent at the discretion of DCF to help address a portion of the need the
CWE was designed for.  Rationale for the cut is that this does minimal harm
to children and overall does the least harm to DCF programs. The perception
is that most folks who come in under the CWE are single adults or couples
without children. There is also still a perception that this program,
especially the CWE is open to abuse by people who are undeserving.

Here are some bullet points you can use in your email:

   - CWE serves the lowest income, homeless Vermonters
   - CWE provides safety and saves lives in dangerous cold weather
   - CWE is the humane thing to do and helps protect the vulnerable
   - CWE is the last safety net that homeless Vermonters have on the
   coldest nights of the year
   - Given deep anticipated federal cuts to safety net programs, now is not
   the time to cut programs that assist the lowest income Vermonters
   - CWE does NOT just serve adults ? 1,334 children were served in FY 16,
   3,370 in FY 15, and 1,558 in FY 14 (see FY 16 GA Emergency Housing Report
   <http://vtaffordablehousing.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=330ed9f1d66cd0f0039407d34&id=d0af7a00e1&e=793bf966b4>
   )
   - CWE serves many people who may not meet the state?s strict
   vulnerability criteria but are nonetheless vulnerable:
      - Pregnant women in the first or second trimester
      - Families with children over age 6
      - Older Vermonters who are not yet 65
      - Adults with medical conditions
      - Adults with disabilities who do not receive SSI or SSDI
   - Even when the CWE is in effect, people do not receive a motel voucher
   if there?s room in a homeless or emergency warming shelter
   - Community based alternatives, like Harbor Place, emergency overflow
   shelters, and short-term transitional housing, have enabled the state to
   make solid progress on reducing reliance on motel vouchers and the CWE.
   This year?s hot spots for Emergency Housing spending do not yet have
   overflow shelters. Additional savings can be expected in those areas once
   those alternatives are in place next year, making elimination of the CWE
   unnecessary.
   - Abuses formerly associated with GA Emergency Housing and the CWE have
   been greatly reduced, including through the community based alternatives.

Thanks in advance for supporting Vermonters who are homeless!

*Ansel, could you please share with the Social Responsibility Committee?*

*From George's Facebook page:** As most of you probably know already I am
going to be celebrating my 80th by bicycling the 185-mile-long C&O Canal
from Cumberland, MD, to Washington, D.C. We will start on April 22 or 23.
The goal is to end up in Washington before Saturday the 29th so we can be
there in time for the People?s Climate March. I will be doing this ride
with Lance Polya, fellow UU and former adjunct professor of systems
thinking at UVM. My daughter Sharon, husband Mark, an**d two-year-old
daughter Siena may also be joining us. We also welcome anyone else-the more
the merrier. *

Hi, SRC Folks.  When I heard about this, I started wondering if George's
ride might make a good fundraising focus for some UU environmental project,
through GoFundMe or Kickstarter.  When I asked George, he thought that
something like solar panels to help provide clean energy for our UU Church
might be a worthy goal (or whatever would fit into the current building
plan).  I could imagine financial donations from 1 cent a mile from kids,
or ten cents, up to a dollar a mile would work (for the 185 miles or the
round trip of 370 miles) --with donated rewards at the higher levels from
church members (in the form of food, services, etc.).    One award could be
participation in a special CCC (Climate Change Committee) with George to
decide where best  to invest the money collected.
         The trouble is, aside from having the idea, I have no skills,
technical, geographical or financial to contribute to this project.  So I'm
sending this out to see if any of you do, as well as the time and
commitment to turn this idea into reality.  If George is willing to bike
370 miles on behalf of environmental stewardship, is anybody out there able
to help turn that action into a longterm investment in a green future?  If
a fundraising site seems too much trouble, maybe there's an easier way to
do it.
     Margaret

Message-ID: <42fbb2c2-f50f-e43b-d95c-a56226ecf746@gmail.com>

Hello All,

The Social Responsibility Committee at UCM will be hosting a potluck 
lunch at the church on April 23rd.  This will be a great chance for all 
the folks interested in social justice to meet one another over 
delicious food and talk about our passions in an informal setting.  The 
lunch will take place after the church service, at noon in the vestry.

Please sign up to bring a dish for this potluck with Hedi Ballantyne.  
You can email her: hedi.ballantyne at gmail.com or visit her table in the 
vestry before and after church services.

I hope many of you will be able to come!

Peace and love,

Ansel

Subject: Occupancy Fee updates


Hi All,

Most of you have probably seen the occupancy fee in the news quite a lot lately. A small group of us got together to discuss what has been going on and to talk strategy moving forward. Apologies in advance for the lengthy email!

 

Here is a rundown of where we are now: The Senate Finance Committee speedily passed S.100 (A bill that contains all of the Governor?s Housing related priorities) with the addition of S.99 (a bill related to TIF) and the occupancy fee. This version of the bill would impose a $2 occupancy surcharge (revenue now estimated at $7.2mill) with $2.5 mill of the revenue going toward VHFA to fund a $35 million housing bond for VHCB and all additional revenue going toward lake clean up.

Senate Finance is still hearing testimony and working through the occupancy fee part of the bill. The bill was in Senate appropriations this afternoon  where they wanted to wait on Senate Finance to work through any amendments they may have. It is estimated that the bill as it is would have enough votes to pass in the Senate.

 

Obviously, the bill as it is does not contain vital supports for the lowest income and most vulnerable Vermonters (to fund subsidy and services). We feel as though there may be room when the bill comes over to the House to have conversations about putting some of the revenue back toward housing related services and subsidy.

We are getting from the Senate administration that we should take this as a win and hold off on calls and emails (they have been supportive of the occupancy fee and have done some work behind the scenes to make this a priority). We at the Vt Network will continue to talk, in our advocacy, about the importance of subsidy and services in order to be able to house survivors with the highest needs and lowest incomes.

 

We also talked today about where we were flexible in terms of the bill. There has been talk of turning it from a $2 charge to a percentage charge (for ease of administration), we saw no issues with this. There is also talk of exempting campgrounds since they are cheap, are used by a lot of Vermonters and homeless folks may take refuge in campgrounds during the warm months- We were also ok with this change, if they choose to make it.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Kara
