Advocates say three Vermont immigrant workers have been deported following on-farm arrests

1 week ago | nhpr.org | Elodie Reed

Three of the eight farmworkers arrested at a Vermont dairy farm last month have been deported, according to advocates. The local immigrant farmworker organization Migrant Justice said the federal government sent 28-year-old Luis Enrique Gomez-Aguilar to Mexico on Monday, and then sent 32-year-old Urillas Sargento and 22-year-old Dani Alvarez-Perez there today. “ICE and Border Patrol are persecuting our community,” said Enrique Balcazar, a spokesperson with Migrant Justice.

2 weeks ago | nhpr.org | Elodie Reed

Vermont law enforcement agencies are doing fewer traffic stops since the COVID-19 pandemic, but Black and Hispanic drivers are still being disproportionately policed, according to a new study released Thursday. University of Vermont Economics Professor Emerita Stephanie Seguino and co-authors Nancy Brooks and Pat Autilio have periodically analyzed the race data Vermont law enforcement agencies are required to collect, and this most recent research adds data from 2022 and 2023.

The Vermont commission that helped recognize four groups as Abenaki tribes more than a decade ago recently held an event to explain — and at points, defend — the process. That’s as the state recognition law faces increasingly vocal criticism from the only two federally recognized Western Abenaki Nations, which say Vermont has legitimized people who haven’t adequately demonstrated their Abenaki heritage.

2 weeks ago | vermontpublic.org | Elodie Reed |Peter Hirschfeld

Vermont lawmakers have given final approval to a bill intended to increase safeguards around reproductive and gender-affirming health care. Democrats said the legislation, S.28, would fill “technical gaps” and improve the state’s current shield laws — which provide legal cover for Vermont health care providers and patients. “We are not adding any new health care activities,” said Winooski Rep. Daisy Berbeco, a Democrat, to House members last week.
Vermont is trying to survey underrepresented communities about their health. It can get complicated

4 weeks ago | nhpr.org | Elodie Reed

The Vermont Department of Health has tried something new while gathering health data for adults across the state: special outreach to people who identify as Black, Indigenous or people of color, or BIPOC. That’s part of the state’s overall recent efforts to more accurately understand the health needs of Vermont’s entire population. BIPOC communities, for example, are often underrepresented in datasets.
A curriculum on Abenaki peoples is almost done. Abenaki First Nations are trying to stop it

As the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs prepares to release a grant-funded school curriculum about the state’s Indigenous peoples, two Abenaki nations are asking the grant-funder to halt the work. The project dates to the fall of 2022, when the commission announced it was getting $50,000 from the foundation of the Burlington-based company Seventh Generation to create materials about Abenaki peoples for K-12 students.

Vaccine access for underserved communities in Vermont at risk after CDC funding cuts

1 month ago | vermontpublic.org | Elodie Reed

On the evening of March 22, Alison Segar said she received an email from the Vermont Department of Health. It confirmed the department would partner with Segar’s organization on multilingual, educational videos about vaccines. Segar, who leads the Vermont Language Justice Project, said the plan was to focus on seasonal vaccines, adult vaccines, adolescent vaccines, and vaccines for babies and toddlers. But then the next morning, Segar got a follow-up phone call.
