Featured speakers, James Haslam, Mary Gerisch, and Cindy Perron from the Vermont Workers’ Center, along with Anja Rudiger of the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative, led a thoughtful discussion on how they built a statewide people’s movement of thousands of Vermonters demanding a universal, equitable, and accountable healthcare system. The discussion was moderated by Katie Robbins, Healthcare-NOW! National Organizer.
