Across the nation, the federal government is attempting to dismantle longstanding protections for free speech, privacy, equality, and democracy. But freedom isn’t confined to the courts, or Washington. It begins right here in our local communities. Our state can be part of the first line of defense against federal abuse of power—but lawmakers need to hear from you.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, no matter who they are or where they live. The ACLU’s Smart Justice Vermont campaign is working to transform our criminal legal system so that it is humane, equitable, and rooted in community-based solutions.

In a state that prides itself on its compassion and mutual support, everyone should have a safe and secure place to live.

With smarter traffic stops, Vermont can protect the safety and liberty of everyone on the road.
