In Vermont, we care about our neighbors and value our state as a safe place to live, work, and raise a family. Yet, thousands of Vermonters experience domestic or sexual violence each year- usually behind closed doors. If we want to do better for our kids and the next generation of Vermonters, we need to prevent this violence before it starts. Vermont currently does not invest any state dollars in violence prevention. It's time for our lawmakers to ensure that violence has no place in Vermont. Investing in violence prevention should be a priority for our state.
