RESOLUTION
OF THE
SELECT BOARD OF PITTSFIELD, VERMONT

CONDEMNATION OF RACIALLY-MOTIVATED
VANDALISM OR HARASSMENT
The Pittsfield Select Board is aware of an incident of racially-motivated vandalism that recently occurred in our town. Pittsfield is no stranger to racially-motivated vandalism. In February 1881, a Pittsfield school house was vandalized by “the Ku Klux Klan or some other enemy of civilization and decency…”, as noted on page 32 of A Glimpse of the Past: Pittsfield, Vermont, by Davis and Hance, 1976.

Standing by silently in the face of racially-motivated vandalism or harassment is dangerous and contrary to our ideals of freedom, equality, and justice.

Therefore,
it is HEREBY RESOLVED that the Town of Pittsfield condemns all forms of racially-motivated vandalism or harassment.
The Pittsfield Select Board urges anyone who witnesses or experiences racially-motivated vandalism or harassment to report it to appropriate authorities.

​Adopted March 18, 2021 by unanimous vote.
​S/Ann Kuendig, Chair s/A.J. Ruben, Vice Chair s/Joyce Stevens
