2025 Annual Meeting

2025 has been quite a year. Since President Trump's inauguration, the ACLU has filed more than 150 lawsuits against the Trump administration, and in Virginia, we've been fighting hard – in the court, in the legislature, and on the streets – to protect Virginians' civil rights and civil liberties. Join ACLU-VA members for our annual meeting to see how YOU helped us hold the line this year in our collective fight for our rights – and what's ahead for 2026.

No Kings Day, Oct. 18

On October 18, people across the country will peacefully come together at marches, rallies, and demonstrations to reject the Trump administration’s abuses of power. With President Trump doubling down on his attacks, we’re sending a clear message, along with communities across the country, condemning the Trump administration’s escalating abuses of power. The ACLU will co-host No Kings protests across the country as we continue to build power in opposition to the unconstitutional actions of the Trump administration. Our Executive Director Mary Bauer will be speaking at the No Kings protest in Manassas. There are multiple protests happening around Virginia. Find your location below.
