SOUTH ROYALTON, VT, September 8, 2016 — Green Party Presidential Nominee, Dr. Jill Stein will be meeting with Vermont Law Students and the general public Tuesday, September 13th from 12:45 to 2PM at the Chase Student Center.

During the event, Stein will speak in detail about her plans to create a Green New Deal that will create 20 million living-wage jobs and transition the US to 100% renewable energy. She choose Vermont Law School as the first stop of her New England Campus tour because of the school’s international reputation. Vermont Law ranks number one for environmental law schools by U.S. News & World Reports. By changing the Country’s infrastructure to renewable energy, Stein says the United States can end our wars for oil and reduce our military budget by 50%. She also says that the savings from energy and health generated by her plan will pay for needed domestic programs and the transition to renewables.

Stein will also be speaking directly with students throughout New England about her plans to cancel student debt and make public higher education free for all U.S. students. With over 42 million students carry student debt in our country and an ever-tightening job market, this means that Millennials are working two and three jobs to pay off their student debt, lent at an ever-increasing interest rates.

According to a recent poll by The Washington Post in a 4-way race Stein is polling at 10% in Vermont.
