On Tuesday, January 3rd, the first day of the legislative session, Put People First will rally at the Statehouse in Montpelier, delivering the People's Budget Report and petition signatures and demanding that Vermont's budget put human needs before any other priority.

After the rally, there will be two workshops from 1:30-3:00 p.m. in the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, 135 Main St., Montpelier.
Put People First! The People's Budget (Hayes Room): We will discuss the role of grassroots organizing and the framework of human rights in our movement for a new rights-based approach to budget and revenue policy in Vermont. This workshop will also explore the links between our struggles for health care, housing, education, and dignified work.
Put People First's Working Group for the Right to a Healthy Environment & Livable Planet (East Montpelier Room): This is a workshop for people interested in working on developing the Right to a Healthy Environment & Livable Planet component of the Put People First initiative.
