Caring, Connecting, Collaborating
Who are we? Green Mountain Justice is what we do.
We care for the well-being of our communities by caring for our neighbors. We center the needs of the marginalized, helping families and individuals connect with dignifying care and effective support.
We connect people with each other, with actionable information, and with opportunities to demonstrate their values and expend their privilege to lift the disenfranchised.
We collaborate with like-hearted partners along a spectrum of innovative justice-focused actions, from direct care of individual Vermonters in crises to advocating for systemic change through policy and legislation.
With a motto of ‘freedom & unity,’ the values of mutual freedom, unity, and justice are sewn into the cultural fabric of our Green Mountain home. Today, that fabric is fraying as the threads of too many lives are being strained and broken by impoverishment, housing insecurity, hunger, systemic race, class, sex, gender, and ability inequities, and insufficient health and substance disorder treatment options. Repair and reconciliation require more relational (and less transactional) care, deeper human-to-human connections, and focused collaboration. Equity requires that we center the needs of the marginalized and oppressed.
