Cha's JournalVermont leaders have issues with Sanders
Multiple leaders of Vermont social justice organizations have found unity in response to what they believe was a snub from Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Sanders Institute.
The institute hosted a 3-day gathering over the weekend during which, according to media reports, various issues important to the Progressive movement were discussed. However, Vermont leaders of organizations active in those causes weren’t invited to speak or learn from national leaders.
An open letter was published on the Facebook page of the Rutland Area and Windham County branches of the NAACP on Saturday.
Since the letter was posted, others have signed on to show their support from Vermont groups such as Black Lives Matter of Greater Burlington, the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity..
The Vermont Coalition for Ethnic and Social Equity in Schools, Justice for All, the ACLU of Vermont and the Nulhegan Abenaki tribe

I appreciate them speaking out.. it was a snub whether intentional or not.
Also, she said she didn't support Beto's Pro Choice stance..
Tell me how "progressive" is she?

Very Perceptive, Garrett..
There were always the buzzwords there to divide us.. that are now stale and musty from overuse and rendered meaningless.
They tried those divisive "corporatist" slurs with Sharice Davids and Gretchen Whitmer.. didn't work.
It is Necessary and Vital to fight for Healthcare, our Minorities, and Equal Rights for All. We don't relegate those issues to the back burner.
Thankfully, Midterms 2018 culminated in Awesome BLUE WAVES Happening!.. Just like so many different Dems across our Nation worked for.. and all kinds of Dems swept into Office claiming the HOUSE. They have the Power Now to put a STOP to much of what trump is trying to do. Like the Damn Stupid Dividing WALL!
And, then along came Beto!

they were tearing down Booker with the pharm association. Good to know it was the individuals' donations.
