2026 HRC Civil Rights Summit: We Have the Tools We Need
Join the Human Rights Commission for this year's Civil Rights Summit. Last fall we gathered with over 300 community members to hear from our state's leading civil rights advocates and movement leaders. On September 25 and 26, we will gather again to measure what we have achieved as a state and where we need to go to safeguard civil rights in Vermont.
This year's conference theme, We Have the Tools We Need, will add a second track to our list of exciting panel offerings. Panels in this track will help us build skills and make use of the tools we have available to us to advance public conversation, create and sustain movements, and influence our lawmakers.
Come to the Summit to hear from advocates in immigration justice, racial justice, disability rights, LGBTQ+ rights, education equity, and more. Friday evening will feature a social event with food, drinks, networking opportunities, and a slate of Vermont-based comedians! Registration is free and open now. In-person registration will be open until September 11. We look forward to seeing you!
