We are heartbroken to share the tragic loss of Lucas Avery Amery Knapp, known to many as Luca, who served as Kitchen Lead at Camp Outright in 2015 and 2016. Luca was a beloved member of our Camp Outright community, and someone who helped shape the feeling of camp in ways both seen and unseen.
Day of Silence is a national, silent protest against discrimination, harassment, bullying, and mistreatment of LGBTQ+ community members. I want to encourage Vermont to practice silence on Friday, April 10th this year to protest for the right of respect for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Yesterday, many in our community experienced something that was extremely violent, shocking, and deeply painful. For those most directly impacted - especially immigrant communities - and for the neighbors who experienced or witnessed the events, the presence of ICE in a South Burlington neighborhood, taking members of our community with the support of state police, brought fear, violence, and uncertainty into a place that should feel safe.
