About Us
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia is the commonwealth’s guardian of liberty, working to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to all people in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.
In addition to the litigation for which the ACLU has been known, we also educate the public, inform the media, lobby legislators, organize grassroots activists, and disseminate information about our constitutional freedoms through our membership and volunteer chapters.
