Solidarity and Political Action

Early voting for the August 13th Vermont Primary Elections has already begun — Request your mail-in ballot today. (Only voters who request a primary ballot will receive one in the mail).

We need elected officials who will stick up for us and prioritize our issues, and many of these races may be decided by a few votes. Check your email for the results of AFT Vermont’s Candidate Questionnaire, and make sure to vote!

  • Fully fund a thriving Vermont State University
  • Ensure a faculty and staff voice on the UVM Board of Trustees
  • Expand Medicaid eligibility
  • Keep our Planned Parenthood health centers open
  • Institute a statewide Family and Medical Leave insurance program
  • Protect workers’ rights, including through banning “captive audience” meetings
