ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to defending civil rights and liberties. Founded in 1920, it has grown to become the largest public interest law firm in the United States, with a network of affiliate offices across all 50 states and over 1.7 million members. The ACLU focuses on issues such as free speech, racial justice, privacy, and reproductive freedom, handling around 2,000 cases annually. The ACLU engages in litigation to challenge unconstitutional laws and policies, advocates for civil rights legislation in Congress, and educates the public on civil liberties issues. Its specialized projects address areas like voting rights, immigrants’ rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and criminal justice reform. Funded by member dues, private donations, and foundation grants, the ACLU operates independently of government funding and has made significant contributions to civil liberties law throughout its history.
