Isaac Evans-Frantz
Isaac Evans-Frantz is the executive director of Action Corps and the clerk of the Brattleboro Selectboard. He was raised in a low-income rural Vermont family and is a leader of Vermont’s LGBTQI+ community.
The U.S. has been at war, in one form or another, for all but about 18 of the past 250 years of the county’s existence. What does this mean if this is a constant in our lives? How do we invite the conservatives and progressives into the room to talk together?
In 2021 Isaac Evans-Frantz led the organizing team that sparked a global day of action against the U.S.-backed Saudi-led war on Yemen, which became the world’s largest antiwar mobilization in nearly two decades. Prior to that, with the non-partisan Action Corps, Isaac played a pivotal role in Congress’ historic passage of bipartisan legislation reasserting Congress’ power over war during the first Trump administration. In this conversation Isaac and participants will explore the costs and benefits of war for Vermonters, and the role of the Green Mountain State in a country nearly constantly at war.
