In these challenging times, our work is more critical than ever, and this newsletter highlights the power of community and our shared commitment to protecting civil rights and liberties.
In this issue, you’ll hear from our Executive Director about why our community will see us through the challenges ahead. We also provide a recap of our efforts in the 2025 legislative session, including our "Firewall for Freedom" initiative and critical work on housing access and immigrants' rights. Read stories about our courageous clients, including Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, and our ongoing legal and public education work aimed at resisting federal overreach and protecting Vermonters from harmful policies. Additionally, you’ll find highlights from our recent community outreach efforts, including partnerships, events, and protests that brought Vermonters together in support of civil liberties.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done and the progress we've made, but we know the fight for freedom and unity is far from over. This newsletter is a testament to what we can accomplish together.
