SUMMARY:Vermont Environmental Justice Law Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to this public information meeting held by the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) Civil Rights and Environmental Justice Unit (CREJU)  to discuss the Environmental Benefits Spending Guidance (EBSG). \nVermont’s Environmental Justice Law (VT EJ Law) from 2022 requires the Agency to develop guidance – the EBSG – to help designated Vermont state agencies to report on the investments that support communities\, especially those most affected by environmental issues. \nThe guidance explains how agencies should document and share information about the investments that result in environmental benefits for Environmental Justice Focus Populations. The EBSG does not tell each agency what investments they should make. \nThe EBSG is mainly for state agencies that need to follow the VT EJ Law\, however\, the law requires a public comment period. The EBSG is also a resource for anyone interested in how environmental benefits are reported.  ANR’s CREJU encourages the public to share their feedback on this document.  This will be one of two in-person meetings this summer to do that.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Afterlife: Learning from Experts and Personal Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Have you had a near-death experience or communicated with a deceased loved one through a medium? Have you contemplated the possibility of reincarnation or had an experience about a past life? Do you wonder what awaits us in the afterlife? Western culture tends to dismiss or even disparage paranormal phenomena. But evidence is available to answer many questions about the afterlife. \nIn this five-part evening series on Tuesdays from June 17th to July 15th\, we will do three things: 1) read books by experts on near-death experiences\, scientific instruments and experiments in paranormal research\, out-of-body experiences\, and the work of reputable mediums; 2) raise questions and concerns about the evening’s topic; and 3) share personal experiences of paranormal phenomena in a safe environment. Each participant will choose a book from a provided list to report on. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions. \nThe group will be led by hospice chaplain and former social worker Diane Southard and Valerie Abrahamsen\, author of Paranormal: A New Testament Scholar Looks at the Afterlife (2015). \nParticipants are encouraged to contact Valerie at www.wisdomwordsppf.org/contact/ as soon as possible to obtain the book list and additional information. Adults over 18 are invited!

SUMMARY:Report-back from the Global March to Gaza
DESCRIPTION:On June 13th\, thousands of people from across the globe gathered in Cairo to march to the border with Gaza and break the Israeli siege and genocide against the people of Gaza…or at least they tried to. The Egyptian regime came down hard on organizers and participants\, thwarting their efforts\, subjecting them to surveillance\, arrests\, beatings\, kidnappings\, and deportation\, preventing them from even peaceably assembling in Cairo. \nBrattleboro resident Fhar Miess was part of the US contingent of the Global March to Gaza and will report back on his experiences there and lessons for organizing in repressive conditions that seem headed our way here. Sumer Mobarak from Washington DC and Lana Bilbo from Kaua’i for Palestine and the Hawaii pod of JVP will also be joining remotely to share their experiences with the March. \nFhar’s blog post reflecting on the Global March to Gaza is here. \nThis is a hybrid event. Masks are requested in-person. \nZoom link will be shared with registrants before the event. Registration can be found here.
