Vermont recently secured $92.7M from Meta, the largest settlement with a single company in the state’s history. The settlement exists because harm was done to Vermont’s young people. It only makes sense that the money - and just as importantly - the decisions about how to use it, should be shaped by young people, alongside the adults who are ready to listen, support, and work alongside them.
A new federal rule has been announced restricting the use of Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funds for gender-affirming care for transgender young people. We want trans youth to know: we have your backs.
From Monday, July 20 through Friday, July 31, our office will be closed while we collectively unplug, rest, and recharge. Rest is resistance! In the meantime, youth and family social and support groups will continue as scheduled, and additional support and resources are always available.
