On this edition of Century: Harm Reduction in Vermont. It’s part two of a conversation with Morgan Fox, Political Director at the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Plus, the city of Burlington, VT is considering a regressive package of laws targeting people who are unhoused, people experiencing mental health issues, and people who use drugs. The 21-page-long Burlington Forward legislative package was introduced by the Burlington City Council’s Democratic caucus on July 24 and was to be voted on by the Council on August 3. On the afternoon of August 3, before that City Council meeting, the organization Vermont Harm Reduction Advocates held a news conference at City Hall to express their concerns and their strong opposition. On today’s show we’ll hear two of the speakers at the news conference: Bella Fearn with Vermont Harm Reduction Advocates and the BTV Clean Up Crew, and Marek Broderick, Burlington City Councilor for Ward Eight.
