Join the National Week of Action to
SHUT DOWN ICE
ICE OUT
October 4th to 9th

ICE's national surveillance nerve center is located in Vermont.  Surveillance conducted in Vermont enables ICE to target, track, and violently detain people across the country. 

By concentrating our energy and numbers against the infrastructure ICE needs to conduct deportations, we can reduce their capacity for harm and prevent future deportations.

Join us in Vermont or take action localy. Together, we can shut them down.

Were you in that Green section in 2024? If so, your non-vote actually helped Tr*mp. Our 2-party system sucks, I admit that, but it certainly isn't going to change before this November. Hold your nose if you must, clutch your pearls, whatever, but VOTE and VOTE BLUE.
US Presidential 2024 Voter Distribution
Harris (29.8%)
Trump (31.0%)
Non-voter (38.1%)
Third Party (1.1%)

SHARE THIS WIDELY

See that really big GREEN section? More people DID NOT VOTE than actually voted for either Harris or Tr*mp.

Were you one of those Green non-voters? Why? "Protest" vote, just didn't like her, couldn't bring yourself to vote for a Black Woman, didn't think your vote mattered . . .

It doesn't really matter what your reason was. The point is, your non-vote ultimately helped Tr*mp. There are other studies that show this (breakdown of the Green section into party registration*).

Unless you are ok with (waves hands vaguely) all of this - and if so, why are you on my feed? - VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO

We can work on elected Democrats to educate them and possibly change their view on various issues. Republicans today, as has been amply demonstrated over the past decade or so, are spineless lackies who don't give a damn about their country.

Step 1 is to save our country and restore democracy. Then we can move on to further steps, and focus on [insert important issues here].

Our 2-party system sucks, I admit that, but it certainly isn't going to change before this November. Our only choices are to vote for Democrats or Republicans. Hold your nose if you must, clutch your pearls, whatever, but VOTE and VOTE BLUE.
* Pew Research Center:
In the 2024 election, non-voters were closely divided in their party affiliation, with 48% identifying with or leaning toward the Democratic Party and 45% identifying as or leaning Republican.

Join us on May 16 and 17, in the beautiful space at Person's Auditorium (Potash Hill, Marlboro, VT)  where we will be performing one of the most beloved pieces of choral music: the Brahms Requiem, with professional orchestra and soloists! 

This Requiem deftly and tenderly takes listeners on a journey grappling with the aftermath of death. 

Even though it is almost 160 years old, the Brahms Requiem is a deeply moving and cathartic way for all of us, performers and audience alike, to wrestle with losses of many kinds. The human facts of the transience of life, the need for comfort, the hope for resolution, and the rewards of effort are all here, to inspire and console us today. 

Tickets: General Admission
$20 In Advance, $25 at the Door
Youth: $10 
Ages 12 and Under: Free 
Purchase tickets online at: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=bmcvt (clickable links in our bio)
