A recent report conducted by Vermont Network examined the cost of domestic and sexual violence in Vermont.

A recent report conducted by Vermont Network examined the cost of domestic and sexual violence for the state -- specifically through public expenditures. This hour, we speak with members from Vermont Network about what the report says, what resources Vermonters are in need of and the call-to-action required to change the narrative around violence. 

Our guests are:

  • Anna Nasset, survivor based in the Mad River Valley and owner of Stand Up Resources
  • Jessica Barquist, director of policy and organizing for Vermont Network
  • Karen Tronsgard-Scott, executive director of Vermont Network
  • Rep. Maxine Grad, state representative from Moretown
