Our brains process information differently. When making important life decisions, we weigh a few factors deliberately (slowly). But for hundreds of other factors, we must rely on intuitive judgment — and we weigh these unconsciously (quickly). Even if in our slow thinking we work to avoid discrimination, it can easily creep into our fast thinking.
A new campaign called Thriving Communities: Building a Vibrant, Inclusive Vermont has just been launched. The Fair Housing Project of the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity serves as a central organizer of the campaign. This effort is a comprehensive and multi-organizational statewide campaign to promote affordability and inclusiveness as a mainstay of flourishing communities across Vermont and beyond. This campaign will reach out to public officials, ordinary citizens, planners, developers, business owners, entrepreneurs and others.
This April, artists and activists kick off a collective effort to honor and promote the importance of fair housing and inclusive neighborhoods through a series of creative workshops, events, art exhibits and panel discussions happening throughout Burlington. The month’s events were organized collaboratively by ONE Arts Collective, the ONE Good Deed Fund, Whirled Tree Arts, and CVOEO Fair Housing Project.
