Unite Against Poverty in Vermont
Too many people in Vermont are cold and hungry this winter. It is time to do something about it. Democracy for America is excited to be partnering with Vermont State Senator Matt Dunne, and the City of Burlington in initiating dialogue between anti-poverty groups and citizens in Vermont.

We are also pleased to announce that former Senator John Edwards, the 2004 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, will be joining the conference and delivering the keynote address. Please come for this all-day conference, Wednesday, February 8th, featuring leaders in Vermont's fight to eradicate poverty. Join us for a complimentary lunch or just for Sen. Edwards' keynote address. We're working together to share best practices, set benchmarks and make common sense solutions to improve the lives of Vermonters.

This is an important opportunity to meet other DFA members from across the state and new allies in the struggle to combat poverty. The preliminary schedule is below. We will send out more information after the schedule is finalized. Please RSVP today at:
