Democrats reject verbal attacks that open door to violence

The Windham County Democratic Committee (the organizing body for county Democrats) supports all Vermonters, including our LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other oppressed and marginalized communities.

In the last few weeks, a Trans woman was murdered in Vermont, the Burlington Pride Center had its glass doors smashed, and a Pride flag at Norwich University was stolen after being publicly displayed by students.

These recent events stand against the backdrop of certain members of Vermont State Republican leadership undertaking a smear campaign against LGBTQIA+ Vermonters.

Democrats believe in, and work to enact, the words that conclude our Pledge of Allegiance: “with liberty and justice for all.”

No exceptions.

Words matter. We call on Vermont Republicans to join us in rejecting such verbal attacks that open the door to violence.
