Health care is a basic human right. If Congress makes cuts to Medicaid, rural hospitals will close, jobs will be lost and our families will be forced to drive hours for a regular appointment. That ain’t right and you deserve better.

This is the most important video on the internet right now.
Best 90 seconds you will spend all day is watching this MSNBC clip.
Seriously.
Some observations on the opportunity gap in Vermont and an upcoming event co-hosted by @VermontCF, @VSAC, the Tarrant Foundation, @CCV_VT @uvm, the J Warren and Lois McClure Foundation and the Curtis Fund this April. #vt timesargus.com/opinion/persp…

When we invest in child care, everyone wins: parents, business owners, early childhood educators, and our kids.
Let's work together to deliver on the promise of Act 76 this year.
Great commentary today in the @washingtonpost on #communityfoundations & the impact organizations like @VermontCF achieve across the country. #placematters #noshortcuts #vt washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

The even better news for Dems tonight is that Mary Peltola's (D) lead over Sarah Palin (R) in the #AKAL special election just stretched to over 13k votes, giving Peltola a better chance of winning when Nick Begich's (R) second-choice votes are tabulated next week.

This is important data on declining postsecondary aspirations from @VSAC. Related: @GeorgetownCEW's latest report notes #VT as 1 of 4 states (+ DC) with the highest % of jobs in 2031 that will require a bachelor's degree. It's time to make postsecondary education the easy choice.
VSAC's Senior Survey report reveals longstanding effects of the COVID pandemic, and that interest in pursuing education beyond high school has dropped significantly among Vermont seniors (with the greatest decrease among first-generation students). vtdigger.org/2023/12/19/pand…
If you are looking for a #longread to get you through the holidays, here's one that's worth it. economist.com/1843/2023/12/1…
Continue to be inspired by the amazing degree to which Vermonters look out for one another. Heading into this holiday season, we are thankful for what's been accomplished already and resolute on the work that remains. This added push for #vtstrong plates is a way to participate.
A holiday push to help neighbors in need. Vermont is raising another $1M from ‘Vermont Strong’ license plate and sock sales to help with flood recovery. Half of proceeds will help individuals via @VermontCF. The other half goes to BEGAP for businesses.
