It is going to take some soul searching andreal change—individually and systemically—tomake a difference. The good news is,we can fix this without waiting for a vaccineor other solutions out of our control. It justtakes us uniting to make this a better countryfor everyone because, like the coronavirus,this is literally in our hands.”The Task Force will undertake three majorprojects including:• Evaluating structures of support for raciallydiverse populations, including a focus on theracial disparities in health outcomes highlightedby COVID-19;• Reviewing current state and federal law onhate speech and freedom of speech and consideringchanges to state law to clarify thepath for prosecuting harassment, hate speechand other bias-motivated crimes; and• • •• • •• Studying and presenting options to encourageVermonters from diverse, marginalized orunderrepresented racial and ethnic groups torun and serve in public office at all levels.It will submit recommendations to theGovernor on the first project by August 15and preliminary recommendations on thesecond and third by December 15.

This issuch important work, and it is everyone’swork.”The Task Force will be chaired by Davisand include up to seven additional members,including representatives from the Governor’soffice, law enforcement, a Vermont chapter ofthe National Association for the Advancementof Colored People (NAACP), the VermontCommission on Native American Affairs, theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ofVermont, the Vermont Human RightsCommission, and a member of the public.Farmers and Ranchers in Vermont Can NowApply for Financial Assistance through USDA’sCoronavirus Food Assistance ProgramAgricultural producers can now apply forUSDA’s Coronavirus Food AssistanceProgram (CFAP), which provides directpayments to offset impacts from the coronaviruspandemic.
