People who care about issues involving direct-care workers in Vermont can talk to their senator about their concerns on March 1. US Senator Bernie Sanders is holding a special community town meeting on “issues facing direct care workers and how we can improve the quality of care to the elderly and people with disabilities,” according to a flyer (pdf) announcing the event.

Sanders will also announce the findings and recommendations of the Legislative Direct Care Workforce study at the meeting, which is free and open to the public. Contact the senator’s office at 800-339-9834 for more information or to tell them you’re coming. (RSVPs are not required, but they’re requested as lunch will be served.)

The meeting is on Saturday, March 1, at 10:30 am  at the Unitarian Church, 130 Main St., Montpelier.
