Hi,
I was wondering if I could write an article for you on a situation that can be difficult for business owners to navigate — how to handle late customer payments without damaging customer relationships.
My article will include tips and advice for not only securing the payments but also doing so in a way that increases customer loyalty rather than diminishes it.
What do you think? If I put the article together for your site, will you post it?
Thank you for considering it.

P.S. If you’re interested in an article, but want one on a different topic, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Alternatively, just let me know if ever you don’t want to receive any further emails.

You should add to your list the summer food program. Unlike past years, this year every child is eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Susan Grabowski runs the program: 254-3730.

Please include the following in Sunday’s Weekly Email Update 12.14.20:
A Vermont People’s Summit
Request for WeCan member organizations to respond to the 30-second Peoples’ Summit Planning Survey
In response to the deep crises in our world, nation, and state, we have seen mass uprisings for progressive social change throughout the world and right here in Vermont.
To help build these interconnected movements and the groups that support them, we are organizing a three-day Vermont People’s Summit to be held in early 2021 as a virtual conference with plenary speakers, focused issue sessions, and creative and artistic approaches to diagnosing and sharing strategies to overcome the most crucial problems in our society.
The People’s Summit will serve as a way to build a movement of movements in the fight for our collective liberation.
Summit Goals:
1. Build solidarity among movements and activists so that we can support each other’s struggles through and after the summit.
2. Center Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) voices and struggles against racism.
3. Reach out beyond existing activist circles to bring new people especially working class people into struggle and organization.
4. Bridge divisions between issues and groups to show the intersectional nature of our struggles.
5. Educate each other, share resources, and develop organizing skills.
6. Help new and unaffiliated activists find organizations and struggles to join.
7. Develop ways for movements to coordinate their campaigns throughout the state.
8. Have fun, heal, and nourish each other.
The Summit will occur over the course of three days, virtually, on dates yet TBD. (Subject to survey results)
I am involved with a state-wide group of folks (now 14 and growing slowly) planning a People’s Summit (online), and we would like to communicate the goals and mission statement to WeCAN member organizations and invite interested people to join in the planning and outreach … this is a “visionary” endeavor and it will be explained in the [very brief] survey we will send out in the next couple of days seeking input as to possible [non conflicting] dates, format and participants.
I suggested the People’s Summit planning group include specifically WeCAN members, and looking at the google doc, there are mainly websites and very few email addresses, so adding 48 or so email addresses to the address list would be quite a chore.
Would it be possible to include a breif summary and a link to the Survey Monkey in Sunday’s Weekly Email Update 12.14.20?
Our email and survey are essentially complete and will need only minor updates as a result of tonights planning meeting. I expect to be able to share it with you informally, or as a final submission Thursday or Friday after a couple of telephone conversations in tomorrow.
What would be your deadline for submitting a paragraph for inclusion Sunday?
Best reagards,
Doug Grandt

Hi, Are there any carpools from Southern Vermont to Montpelier for the Gun Legislation currently under consideration in Vermont: Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 5:00-7:00 p.m., State House, Montpelier? From Brattleboro, Bennington, Wilmington areas? Thanks.
Hi! I am Lucy, BUHS class of 2018. I’ve been following WeCAN’s newsletter for a few years and it’s been really inspiring.
I’m organizing a Greta-Thunberg inspired rally for next Friday, March 15 with a few current BUHS students and some homeschoolers and would be thrilled if WeCAN would help spread the word about it!
Across the world, youth are gathering on March 15 to focus the attention of local, state and national legislators on protecting our resources and environment. Join young people of southern Vermont to demand that lawmakers do what they can to steer us from climate disaster, and protect our frontline communities who are already suffering the consequences of it. Gather peacefully to share ideas and ensure that future generations can live to experience a healthy natural world.
Help us make space for the voices of our students, a considerable portion of our community, many of whom are too young to vote.
The first rally will gather in front of Brattleboro Union High School from 7:40 am- 8:45 am.
Can’t make it in the morning? Join the following rallies on the same day:
Noon-1 pm – Join climate school strikers at Pliny Park (they’ve been striking there on Fridays since December!)
4 pm – 5 pm – Pliny Park climate mass action. Everyone encouraged to come and make your voice heard.
Bring signs, songs, and knowledge. Bring your stories and passions. Bring respectful arguments, and a willingness to listen.
Hope to see you there!

Announcement. River Garden Bag Lunch Series — Democracy Forum, September 12, Noon to 1 pm at the River Garden, Brattleboro.
When Do We Call It Fascism?
Tim Kipp and Nick Biddle will review authoritarian tendencies in American history and culture with an eye toward identifying components of fascism. Widening income disparity, declining faith in democratic process, resurging racism and a shrinking middle-class induce resentment, intolerance and rage. Opportunist elites take advantage of these conditions to promote autocratic policies. The maxims of civilization — reason, dialogue and compromise — fall away. Fascistic tyranny arises. How far along that path is the United States today? Come find out what we, and you, think about this unfortunate but unavoidable question.
Tim Kipp is a longtime activist and retired Social Studies Teacher at Brattleboro High School.
Nick Biddle is co-owner of Artrageus1 in Brattleboro.

Wondering if someone on this list knows who organized the protest at Highgate border crossing and is there some way we can support them. Seems important.
