Glover Equity Supports Proposition 2 to Abolish Slavery in the Vermont Constitution

The Vermont campaign to Abolish Slavery is worthy of our support.

Vermont Interfaith Action and Vermont Racial Justice Alliance launched the campaign in support of Proposal 2. Prop 2 would amend the Vermont Constitution to state that “slavery and indentured servitude in any form are prohibited.” 

This year, Vermont is a part of “the Freedom Five,” along with Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon and Tennessee. All have advanced ballot initiatives to abolish slavery from their state constitutions and #endtheexception.

Despite our self-image as the first to end slavery, Vermont’s history is different.
