Vermont ACLU claims state conducts “surveillance and brazen intervention” into Vermonters’ pregnancies https://t.co/KeslahseJZ #vtpoli

@JustinMarshVT @Justin_Srsic @keithchatinover The new setup is much better and I'm pretty sure I saw some new power strips when I was up there earlier. Might not be new but at least we don't have to bring our own any more. Its the small things.

[Falko Schilling @JustFalko]

This is the cruel, shortsighted, and was completely predictable. In fact, in May I stood in the State House with many advocates, providers, and lawmakers and said this is exactly what would happen, but they did it anyway. We need to do better #VT #vtpoli

We are failing our youngest and most vulnerable Vermonters - Read the @BBF_Vermont team’s full statement on Vermont’s emergency housing crisis here: https://t.co/xrZPk9ZfHo. #housingcrisis #vermont #vtpoli #children #families #housing #vt

I am so extraordinarily disappointed in how many bills criminalize children, people with Substance Use Disorder and marginalized people. This is not what public safety or what healthy communities look like. #vtpoli @ACLUVermont

[ACLU of Vermont @ACLUVermont]

When we invest in people and communities and use prisons only as a last resort, everyone can thrive. Please call the State House today and ask your elected officials to vote no on S.58 [phone].

Today's press conference was powerful with so many voices in support of #OPCs.

And, today bill H.72 officially passed the #VT legislature! #vtpoli

It's time for OPCs in VT. Tell Gov. Scott to sign the bill: https://t.co/SV2H3t40wK

[Falko Schilling @JustFalko]

Thank you to the Vermont Senate for passing H.72 the overdose prevention center bill, this will save lives. Check the link below to find out how your senator voted and thank them for their support. #VTpoli https://t.co/hcqj5sJsW3

[ACLU of Vermont @ACLUVermont]

We applaud Senate lawmakers for advancing H.72, a bill to fund overdose prevention centers in Vermont. OPCs are safe spaces to use drugs with access to on-site medical care, limiting the risk of overdose and expanding access to treatment and recovery. #vtpoli

[Vermont Harm Reduction Advocates @vtharmreduadvo]

H.72 is heading to a full State Senate vote! Use this form to send a quick message letting your senator know why you support overdose prevention centers in VT - https://t.co/ng9EzYbAVK #OPC #vtpoli

[Sarah Fair George @SarahFairVT]

“The centers also offer broader community benefits, decreasing drug use and overdoses in public and reducing the presence of discarded syringes, enhancing overall safety in the surrounding areas.” https://t.co/caDCg3MnwX

Today all I can say is Our Governor exited hundreds of people with disabilities who were eligible to remain sheltered, AGAINST the clear intent of the law. What an appalling level of cruelty. Today take a moment for people sleeping outside. Cruelty.
#vtpoli #crisisinvt

[ACLU of Vermont @ACLUVermont]

The Scott administration’s plan to forcibly unshelter hundreds of Vermonters will likely proceed, despite the efforts of our colleagues at Vermont Legal Aid to halt this cruel and counterproductive policy decision.

[ACLU of Vermont @ACLUVermont]

Act now and urge the governor to reverse this callous policy decision now. Call 802-828-3333 or send a message via https://t.co/Ji1OZHA8xV to make your voice heard today.

@thevpo1 What @GovPhilScott is doing is cruel, unnecessary, shameful, and inhumane.

[Falko Schilling @JustFalko]

@333crows @thevpo1 These people are housed in motels now, and most of them will be eligible to stay. They are getting kicked out by @GovPhilScott so the state can review the unnecessary paperwork they are making people file before telling them they can go back.

[Falko Schilling @JustFalko]

@Tyler_The_Wise @thevpo1 Let them stay in the motels while the state determines their eligibility.

[Erhard Mahnke @ErhardMahnke]

I guess it's not enough that we have the 2nd worst rate of homelessness in the country, #VT exceptionalism demands we have the worst. Have Senate Appropriators not seen our downtown doorways and homeless encampments? May more compassionate minds prevail in conference! #VTPoli

[CURE-VT @vt_cure]

While @GovPhilScott Phil Scott sits on his 'Bully Pulpit' in Montpelier, getting tough on crime, here's a dose of reality, so Governor Phil Scott, what do say to these realities?

#VT isn't far off at $95,000 a year for everyone incarnated in our state. Most costly and least effective way to deal with challenges in our communities #vtpoli

[Brendon Woods @BrendonWoodsPD]

CA is set to spend $132,860 a year to incarcerate someone in prison. Meanwhile @CAgovernor is cutting money to the public defender resentencing grant. Using this math, our office alone saved taxpayers $115.9 million in 2 years. #DoTheMath #RestoreTheGrant https://t.co/J0EpebN720
