We are the Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network, and we believe that
Education is Activism
We are students from all over Vermont joining together as a 501c3. We strive for racial equity and justice in all VT schools. With our voices, we undertake projects to actively make changes in our schools from Preschool to higher education, educate ourselves and our communities about anti-racism, design spaces for us to have dialogue (and have fun!), all the while ensuring the voices of students and educators of color are heard.
We started as a tiny group of 3 students on Zoom and have grown into a statewide network where we fight for our collective rights and for a better education system, through both virtual and in person engagement. We are invested in community engagement - where everyone is involved in a grassroots effort to transform inequalities and host spaces for state-wide relationships to form. We hope you’ll learn more about our mission and join us!
