About VEMA

To lift up the voices of all people in our communities that experience racism, discrimination, injustice and/or predjudice. To enact change, educate, and provide cultural experiences. To provide resources to community members who are affected by issues of racism, discrimination, and injustice.

VEMA was founded in the spring of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Seraphia Gravelle (Aguallo), Elizabeth Robinson (Allen), and Nathaniel Coward began the work of educating the community and providing a voice for people of color throughout the region. Historically there has been a lack of representation as well as complaints and concerns falling on the deaf ears of the leaders of the regional community. VEMA stands united to work against racism and injustice. Through educating not only the members of VEMA but also the community surrounding them, they intend on chipping away at the systemic and blatant racism that exists throughout their community. In addition to education, a priority of VEMA is to ensure accurate and adequate representation as the community as a whole works to disrupt racism and discrimination.

Don’t forget your special Small Business Saturday coupons if you picked them up at the Chamber Expo last weekend!

Shopping small is more important than ever; 78% of business owners surveyed say holiday sales will impact their ability to stay in business in 2022. The Chisholm Area Chamber of Commerce is a Small Business Champion and will be giving out FREE promotional items to local shoppers! Every time that you buy local, whether it’s a cup of coffee, a T-shirt, or a burger, YOU are making a difference to the community.

Want to learn more about the impact of shopping local? Visit the Small Business Saturday webiste for more info!
