Vermont American Civil Liberties Union (VT ACLU)
“The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Vermont defends and advances civil liberties for all people across a broad range of constitutionally protected rights and freedoms. Founded in 1967 and based in Montpelier, the ACLU of Vermont is the statewide affiliate of the national ACLU, an organization with a presence in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C.
“Our efforts are focused on a broad range of issues impacting Vermonters’ constitutional rights, including racial justice, criminal legal reform, women’s rights, gender justice, LGBTQ rights, disability rights, voting rights, immigrants’ rights, freedom of speech, religious liberty, reproductive freedom, privacy, and more.
“Integrating litigation, policy advocacy, organizing, public education, and strategic communications, we work to realize Vermont’s promise of justice and equality for all people – with special emphasis on those who have historically been denied the full protections of our laws.”
Vermont Queer Law & Policy Professionals (VTQLP)
“VTQLP is a group of over 95 (and growing!) Vermont-based 2SLGBTQI+ lawyers, paralegals, legal support staff, and law and policy students and professionals of all kinds! VTQLP was founded in 2021 in response to the lack of affinity spaces in Vermont’s legal community. We shared a vision of a space where queer Vermonters could find support and speak with a unified voice about issues that are impacting our community. Our work focuses on:1. “Strengthening Vermont policy to protect queer rights
2. “Increasing access to affirming legal services
3. “Educating the Vermont Bar
4. “Building community & strengthening networks
5. “Mentoring queer law and policy students
6. “Recruiting & retaining queer legal talent to Vermont.”
