Pathways Vermont offices are closed today in recognition of Juneteenth. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved Black people in Texas finally learned of their freedom.
At Pathways Vermont, we aim to cultivate communities and spaces where we openly address the impacts of white supremacy and racism, particularly focusing on the areas of mental health, economic justice, and housing justice. We are committed to the ongoing work of dismantling white supremacy and we understand that this work is truly ongoing.
We recognize that multiple systems of oppression, including white supremacy, colonialism, economic injustice, sanism, and ableism, are barriers to achieving our mission. Because of this, we are committed to building inclusive, equitable, and universally accessible communities, which is representative of Pathways’ core values.
We understand that our commitment requires the continuous work of daily action, reflection, confronting inequities, and challenging narratives. We practice this in many ways, including monthly training for all staff members with a rotating curriculum that aims to support the complex and dynamic topics of equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
