We, the members of the Windham County legislative delegation of Vermont, decry the hatred and violence that happened in Charlottesville several weeks ago.
We wholeheartedly condemn the racism, white supremacism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia that are finding encouragement at the highest levels of our government.
We call on all citizens who love our state and country to stand against these dangerous and un-American values, which threaten the very foundation of our democracy.
As Vermonters, we are proud of our history of tolerance and civility. We look to the non-violent example of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and other courageous individuals as models to follow as we confront hatred in these difficult times.
