Former State Representative, Kiah Morris, was first elected in 2014 as the only black female member of the Vermont House. She had to resign in 2018 following months of online harassment that then escalated into her physical world. Through it all, Kiah has continued to be a vocal advocate for justice system reforms that protect all women.

Three Vermont women have been appointed to serve on the Vermont Commission on Women (VCW), the state’s non-partisan commission working to advance rights and opportunities for women and girls.
