Welcome to the Vermont Language Justice Project

The Vermont Language Justice Project allows people with language access needs the ability to make informed decisions about their health and safety, as well as navigating everyday life in the USA. We do this by creating public service videos  in 21 of the languages spoken here in Vermont. This media is co-produced with trusted community members from Vermont’s refugee, migrant, and immigrant communities. These messages are shared widely through YouTube, WhatsApp and with over 200 community partners. As of January 31st, we have had 308100+ views on our YouTube channel and more than 2,1214 subscribers.

Dear friends and colleagues,

ā€‹

We are in dark days.  Days when we really do not know what is going to happen next.  All we do know is that people we love and institutions and organizations that we partner with are, under attack and in fear of losing their funding.  

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

Executive orders, and freezing of funds have put our refugee, im/migrant, and asylee community members in danger. Reproductive rights hang in the balance, as do the rights of undocumented workers, asylees, and im/migrants.

 

VLJP’s mission to ensure  that all communities have access to the information they need to protect themselves and their families still very firmly stands.   We are increasing production of the numbers of languages that our "know your rights" videos are made in, and are open to discussing any new videos that need to be made to get crucial information out to folks that need them.  

ā€‹

So, we are rallying our partners, supporters, and allies – in short, you – to help us find new sources of funding, so we can make sure speakers of languages other than English have the information they need to make informed decisions about how to best protect themselves and their families. 

ā€‹

In solidarity and with gratitude,

Alison, Olivia, and Dani
