Share Your Story

Have your rights been violated? The ACLU of Vermont invites you to share your story with us. Your story can help shape and guide our work. We rely on people like you to tell us where Vermonters' civil rights and liberties are at risk and how we can change the law to make our State fairer and freer for everyone.

This is not a complaint intake page for requesting legal help, and completing this form does not make you a prospective client. We review and keep the information you share on this form, but we do not respond to submissions. If you complete this form, you should not expect to hear from our office. Our small team cannot respond to the hundreds of submissions we receive each year. Because we can't take most cases or respond to the people who tell us their stories – even where real injustices have happened—please know that this does not mean that your story is not important.

We will keep your personal information confidential unless you give us permission to use it or unless we are ordered to turn it over by a court.
