SUMMARY:Compassionate\, Community-Centered Responses to the Drug Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Individuals\, families\, and entire communities across the country have experienced the effects of the substance use and a drug crisis in recent years. We often think about drug policy or addiction recovery as an issue affecting “individuals.” In this session\, we want to think about substance use and recovery in a broader sense\, exploring what happens when communities come together to address substance use in their local communities in positive ways that help individuals and the community to heal.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubstance use affects many people within communities\, including the impacted individuals\, family and friends\, librarians\, first responders\, and business owners. Frequent occurrences of substance use in a community can affect the community’s identity\, local economy\, and sense of safety. How do communities who have faced challenges or human loss due to substance use heal afterwards? How have restorative practices been helpful to communities struggling with these questions? Our speakers can share both practice and policy that build stronger\, healthier communities for everyone.  \n\n\n\nHosted by the Center for Justice Reform at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, this event is part of an ongoing online series\, “Healing Communities to Heal the World.”  \n\n\n\nEsteemed guest speakers include: \n\n\n\nRicardo Bowden\, Executive Director of Peer360Kateri Coyhis\, Executive Director of White BisonHon. Eric Mehnert\, Chief Judge of Penobscot Nation \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register in advance by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Someone
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session will be presented by Kristen Stilt from Harvard Law School and a VLGS Distinguished Animal Law Summer Scholar. \n\n\n\nAn assumed division between human and nonhuman animals (and most of nature) has long been baked into most of Western culture and law. As effects of the Anthropocene bring humans and animals in closer and more frequent contact\, increasingly in emergency and catastrophic situations\, we are beginning to see more signs of awareness that humans and animals are not only ecologically but profoundly interdependent—and that each animal should not be categorized something\, but as someone. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
