How do we work to make our home a better one for all of our neighbors? How do we improve social justice and equity in all that we do? There is a lot of work to be done and our members have been working on town boards and committees as well as community organizations to help understand what can be done as a town and as individuals as well as what role the various governmental boards can play in making a better home for everyone.
Below are some links to various sources, these have not been vetted by the DTC, but are places to start understanding perspectives and the things each of us can do. This list is short and not complete, it never could be. But it can be a starting point to help understand different perspectives and things that each of us can do to help make things better right here in our home.
