Declaration of Inclusion

At the June 14, 2021 Rutland County Democratic Committee, we voted to pass a Declaration of Inclusion:

The Rutland County Democratic Committee condemns racism and discrimination of any type and welcomes all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability, and will protect these classes to the fullest extent of the law.

As a committee, we formally condemn discrimination in all its forms and commit to fair and equal treatment of everyone in our community.

As a committee, we formally condemn discrimination in all its forms and commit to fair and equal treatment of everyone in our community.

The Rutland County Democratic Committee is committed to providing a space where the most marginalized can feel safe.

This declaration has been modeled on the declaration that’s already been passed in several towns in Rutland County, an event that’s making national news!

We encourage every town in Rutland County to pass a declaration. To read more about the declaration and to find talking points, you can go here.
