Issues

Our Issue Campaigns

We are a faith-based, grassroots community organizing group. Our issues are chosen by the people at our member congregations who seek to create a more just and compassionate world.

Racial Justice

In light of the horrific examples of racial injustice displayed on the news across our country, many of our congregations have engaged in study and discussion about how to address the evils of white supremacy and systemic racism. VIA has formed three groups to address various aspects of racial injustice: in business, in land & housing ownership, and in public safety.

Affordable Housing

When Vermonters' housing costs are more than 30% of their income, their housing is unaffordable. We work to increase the number of housing units for low and moderate income Vermonters.

Eradicating Homelessness

Our Central Vermont local organizing committee has worked diligently to eradicate homelessness in Washington County. All our neighbors deserve to have a safe, warm place to call home. We will continue to work toward ensuring this for our people.

Corrections Reform

We've focused on preparing inmates for release, so that they can succeed and not recidivate. More recently, we have turned our attention to pressing for a more restorative and healing culture in our facilities, especially in the women's prison.

Immigration

Eleven million undocumented persons have no pathway to citizenship, even though they have contributed greatly to the country they call home -- essential workers, DREAMERs, TPS holders, and farmworkers. VIA works with our national network's campaign to win immigration reform.
