"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Martin Luther King

​

This letter was delivered to the Vermont Legislature on January 18, 2018.

 

The letter was signed by more than 300 individual medical and health

professionals and students.

​

The letter was also endorsed by the organizations listed below:

-- The Vermont Medical Society --

-- The Vermont Public Health Association --

-- The Vermont Veterinary Medical Association --

-- The Vermont Chapter of the American Lung Association --

-- The Center for Health and Learning --

​

As we've seen time and time again, legislators in Vermont listen when people speak up.

That was reinforced during the our conversations with the Governor and other

top lawmakers after the letter was delivered. 

​

We look forward to continue engaging in the discussion with the public,

state government, and advocate community.
