In April, the U.S. Senate passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act in response to increased violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Before he boarded a plane to return to Washington Monday, Vermont Congressman Peter Welch joined advocates to discuss the importance of the bill.
S.937 passed the Senate on a 95 to 1 vote and was passed by the House Tuesday on a 364-62 vote. The bill says “there were nearly 3,800 reported cases of anti-Asian discrimination and incidents related to COVID–19 between March 19, 2020, and February 28, 2021, in all 50 States and the District of Columbia.”
Vermont at-large Congressman Peter Welch, a Democrat, calls the escalating hate crimes against those of Asian-Americans and Pacific Island descent unacceptable.

Members of Vermont’s creative sector recently launched an action plan to highlight the expansiveness of the industry and its importance to the economy.
The Vermont Arts Council’s CreateVT Action Plan for the creative economy notes that such businesses supply 9.3 percent of Vermont jobs and in 2019 arts and culture contributed $1.1 billion to the state’s economy. Over the past three years the Vermont Creative Network has been drafting a plan to enhance opportunities and grow creative industries. A recent virtual meeting launched the CreateVT Action plan for public comment. Catamount Arts Executive Director and Vermont Creative Network chair Jody Fried said the creative arts are ubiquitous across the state.
