Burlington Human
Rights Council
Starts Work

Established in response to a task force ‘

originally convened by former Burling-
ton Mayor, Peter Clavelle, the Burlington
Human Rights Council held its first
meeting in late September. The Council,
consisting of thirteen members appointed
by the City Council, was created to “pro-
vide a forum for citizens to bring con-
cerns regarding housing, employment
discrimination and other human and civil
rights issues”.

It also provides another way for citizens
to connect with the State Human Rights
Commission, which has the authority to
prosecute illegal discrimination. In addi-
tion to advocacy a large part of the coun-
cil’s mission is community education.

The thirteen members include repre-
sentatives from many of the cultural and
ethnic groups residing in Burlington.
Among the members are two members of
Burlington lesbian and gay community,
David Curtis, Chair of the Board of Ver-
mont C.A.R.E.S. and Deborah Lashman,
Editor of Out in the Mountains.

The Council can be contacted by calling
the CEDO office in Burlington at 865-
71859 (TDD 865-7142) or writing the
Human Rights’ Council, Room 32, City
Hall, Burlington, VT 05401. V
