@greg.org it's your moment. Among your moments. One of many. Cy!

We are proud to do this work on behalf of all Vermonters. Anyone who believes they may have been discriminated against is encouraged to reach out to our offices at the information below.”

Our offices are committed to ensuring that Vermont remains a safe and supportive place for non-binary and transgender people, and for their families and loved ones.

Regardless of changes in federal policy, the law in Vermont is clear that businesses, public agencies, housing providers, and employers may not discriminate against people based on their gender identity.

The Vermont Attorney General’s Office and the Vermont Human Rights Commission will continue to enforce these laws and others protecting Vermonters against unlawful discrimination.
