Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, February 14.
What a charged week its been in our Chittenden County backyard, with young voices rising up against fear and division. Yesterday, about 200 students at South Burlington High School poured out onto Dorset Street for a coordinated walkout protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. Organized by groups like the Student Justice Union, they held signs reading No one is illegal on stolen land and Fuck ICE, chanting for families torn apart by recent detentions, like that of Somali taxi driver Hussien Noor Hussien, whose kids attend the school. Superintendent Joe Clark called schools sanctuaries for all, regardless of status, while in Essex Junction, middle and high schoolers marched down Lincoln Street to Five Corners, megaphones blaring No one should live in fear. Student leaders like Kamaria Morris and Siham Ali emphasized unity and dignity, turning snowy sidewalks into spaces of hope. Teachers like Lars Gold praised the courage, reminding us these kids are leading change right here at home, impacting families we all know.
Shifting to brighter notes on this Valentines Day, Burlingtons buzzing with romantic vibes to warm the winter chill. Catch the Vermont Symphony Orchestras Love Notes at 3 p.m. on the Flynn Centers Main Stage, featuring Grammy-winning violinist Jennifer Koh in Philip Glasss Violin Concerto No. 1, alongside Frank Zappas wild G-Spot Tornado and lush suites from Bizets Carmen. Conductor Andrew Crust promises an eclectic mix of American edge and Romantic sweep, with pre-concert chats at 2 p.m. and add-ons like Sweet Hearts chocolates from Lake Champlain or a Toast to Love with drinks and roses. For poetry lovers, the University of Vermont hosts Girdled with the Gleaming, a special Valentines reading in Williams Hall at 8 p.m., weaving words into evenings magic.
Music fans, dont miss they are gutting a body of water at 7:30 p.m. tonight, an extra date added for our scene. Or light up your night with the Candlelight Valentines Day Special at First Unitarian Universalist Society on Pearl Street, starting at 7 p.m. for 35 bucks, strings glowing in candlelit intimacy.
Elsewhere, a grim note: a Wells resident faces charges for promoting and possessing child sexual abuse materials, a stark reminder to stay vigilant for our kids safety.
Whether youre protesting for justice, serenading your sweetheart, or soaking in symphonies, Burlingtons heartbeat is alive today, connecting us through action and art that truly matters.
