Thought from James Baldwin (1962)

By admin | February 9, 2022

Try to imagine how you would feel if you woke up one morning to find the sun shining and all the stars aflame. You would be frightened because it is out of the order of nature. Any upheaval in the universe is terrifying because it so profoundly attacks one's sense of one's own reality. Well, the black man has functioned in the white man's world as a fixed star, as an immovable pillar: and as he moves out of his place, heaven and earth are shaken to their foundations. -- James Baldwin (1962)

About This Site

Engaging our community in opposing racism – and advancing equity for Indigenous, Black, and people of color – through education, policy change, and reparations.

In the spring of 2020 a consensus grew in the town of Richmond, Vermont that more — much more — attention needed to be paid to the question of racial equity, both in our town and around the nation.   An ad-hoc group of Richmond residents came together for weekly meetings to talk, plan events, and work toward the goal of a just society.

Please join Richmond Racial Equity Wednesday September 22 from 7:00-8:00 pm as Hunter Wasser presents the results from  "2021 Richmond Public Safety Project" he completed this summer. He was awarded a grant from Skidmore's Summer Experience Fund and spent the summer analyzing Richmond PD activity data from several years and conducting a community survey about attitudes and perceptions regarding public health and safety in Richmond. Join us:  Thank you to all of the community members who attended or were panelists at our presentation / discussion last night with the Williston Community Justice Center! The thoughtful insight of our local restorative justice resources was very powerful. 🔴 As you know, Vermont has a terrible record of racial mass incarceration. There are “crimes” that should be referred to Restorative Justice...not the courts. #Repost @decolonizeburlington with @make_repost 📢Neighbors!!! April 22nd! What word or phrase would you add to this chart? 🤔 Did you know?...
