Bernie started a political revolution as Mayor, that is spreading throughout the nation!! Now @BTVProgressives on the council are continuing that tradition by standing up to big developers and fighting on behalf of all working people. #BTVProgressives #btvcc #vtpoli #btv

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When I was mayor of Burlington we stood up to powerful developers to protect affordable housing—and that is what we will fight for in the White House. #BernieInVT

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Young Progressives in #BTV were knocking doors in support of bike lanes along Colchester Ave a few days ago -- this is what grassroots democracy looks like! See everyone on the 15th for the commission vote!! #vtpoli #btvcc LINK: https://t.co/sJlz3N24cU

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

In case you missed it here's a clip of the @sunriseburly's town hall a few days ago! Thank you for doing the inspiring & incredibly important work you are doing -- our generation should be proud to have organizers like yourself pushing for Justice. LINK: https://t.co/YtycoaFhXI

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Young people at UVM are organizing and have written a SGA resolution that would reform UVM policy regarding campaigning - focusing on safety, engagement, nonpartisanship and 1st Amendment rights of students. Please sign this petition and share it! LINK: https://t.co/o2CupxP9T7

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Young Progressives came out in force to support @BTVProgressives this election cycle!! Our intersectional movement is gaining ground -- now its time to stay involved and engaged. Lets turn our grassroots campaigns into grassroots governance!! Stay tuned!!!! #YoungProgressives

[BTV Progressives @BTVProgressives]

It took over 100 people volunteering across #BTV to deliver Progressive victories on March 5th. THANK YOU! Now it's time to get to work fighting for a progressive agenda in city hall. We need everyone to stay involved if we are going to move our city forward. #btvcc

Ever wonder how much the top ten most paid employees of @uvmvermont make. The results (see the top 10 list below) are extremely disheartening, especially as many young people dive deeper and deeper into debt. For context, #VT's governor makes 145,538 a year. #YoungProgressives

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Thank you @selene_colburn !!! You have consistently led the way on so many critical issues! #vtpoli #vtleg #btv #btvcc #VTProgressives #BTVProgressives #YoungProgressives

[Selene Colburn @selene_colburn]

I was the only member of the #vtleg to vote against the state budget today. Why did I do it? We're dragging our heels on climate action and leaving future generations to deal with the cost and dire consequences. #vtpoli #ActOnClimate #ActOnClimateVT

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

The efforts of Young Progs across #btv resulted in huge electoral wins this past Town Meeting Day! Now its time to translate our wins into policy that benefits the many, not just the few. Join us this Monday to discuss next steps!! LINK: https://t.co/TJmLI0x64A

We can do better by raising wages for public and private workers within the city limits by creatively exploring expansions of the ordinance, removing exceptions within the ordinance, and exploring other initiatives to boldly address wage inequality. #btv #vtprogressives

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Young Progressives of Vermont stand in solidarity with UVM community members, students, and staff trying to preserve a quality education on campus -@uvmvermont 's priorities couldn't be clearer -- more money for those at the top at all costs #vtpoli #btv

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

The DID is on the ballot this Town Meeting Day - Check out the co-chair of UVM Progressives, Betsy McGavisk, discuss the proposal in-depth on @ch_17 !! #btvcc #btv #vtpoli https://t.co/GIp8rhr5d4

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

And the twitter wars around #btvcc begin... One proposal was offered by a few councilors with very little public input or support. The other proposal was fueled by thousands of petition signatures. Quick twitter retorts won't distract from the horrific precedent set. #vtpoli

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

The highest ranking democrat and progressive in #VT has endorsed @JackHansonBTV for city council in Burlington !!

[YoungProgressivesVT @youngprogsVT]

Very disappointed that @RichardDeaneBTV didn't vote to put the city park redesign to a vote. It's a dangerous precedent to set to deny voters an opportunity to voice their concerns despite thousands of signatures being gathered. @AdamRoofVT & Sharon B. - thank you for your vote!

[Save Our Skies @SaveOurSkiesVT]

Updated list of those who voted to replace the F-35:

BTV voters, BTV City Council, 75% of UVM students, Winooski City Council, S. Burlington City Council

...and an updated list of those who haven't:

Mayor @MiroBTV

Does this look like democracy to you? #vtpoli #btvpoli https://t.co/84I0k2Ykfb

Harm reduction is a philosophy that can be applied to any risky behavior. Instead of judging and shaming people, let's empower people to make healthier choices for themselves and for the world! https://t.co/uwYHWiDX8u
