Shield Vermont 

Now is the time to Stand up, Speak out and Shield Vermont!

1.  Vermont’s constitution DOES NOT HAVE an equal protection provision. 

2.  States may provide greater protections of rights under state constitutions than are provided by the federal constitution as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

3.  An equal protection clause to the Vermont constitution would represent an important symbolic commitment to the principle of equal protection under the law giving expression to the fundamental values and commitments of the people of a state.

Proposal 4 would provide Vermont with:

  • A state constitutional foundation for equal protection

  • Independence from federal doctrinal collapse

  • Capacity to address disparate impact and systemic harm

  • Authority to scrutinize discriminatory algorithms

  • Constitutional support for durable civil rights policy

Please Refer to our Questions/Answers here to learn more about this constitutional amendment.  

History teaches us that when equal protection collapses, democracy collapses with it.  At moments like this, judicial independence, constitutional clarity, and moral courage matter.  

This constitutional amendment will ensure that equal protection in Vermont is explicit, durable, and real.

Stand Up. Speak Out.  Shield Vermont
