No Lease Extension for VTANG Rally and Demonstration

Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger wants to extend the lease for the Vermont Air National Guard at Burlington Airport until 2073. (press release, VTDigger article) Yes, 2073. That’s not a typo.

This is infuriating. The F-35s have to go now.

Burlington City Council is set to vote on this item on Monday, October 23rd.

Join us at this rally beforehand to show up and tell them to VOTE NO on the VTANG lease extension.

We’ll be on the Church Street side of City Hall. See you there!

TEUC Meeting

At this TEUC meeting, Councilors Barlow, Bergman, and King will be discussing greenhouse gas emissions from the F-35s.

Here is the TEUC website. Here is the agenda for June 27th, 2023.

Make a public comment demanding that Burlington:

1) Add greenhouse gas emissions from the F-35s (and the entire airport) to the Burlington Net Zero Energy Roadmap. (Airport emissions are not currently included in the Burlington Net Zero Energy Roadmap, even though the city owns and operates the airport.)

2) Immediately reduce emissions from the F-35s, with the ultimate goal of grounding them or removing them from the airport altogether.

Show up in person at the Department of Public Works or online here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84603122855
