Housing

Housing is a human right. 

Immigrants’ Rights

The ACLU has been at the forefront of almost every major legal struggle on behalf of immigrants’ rights, focusing on challenging laws that deny immigrants access to the courts, impose indefinite and mandatory detention, and discriminate on the basis of nationality.

LGBTQ+ Rights

The ACLU seeks to create a just society for all LGBTQ+ people regardless of race or income. 

Open Government

Vermonters are rightly proud of their state’s tradition of local, direct democracy and respect for constitutional principles.
