ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization that works to protect and defend individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, such as free speech, privacy, and equal protection under the law. Founded in 1920, the ACLU advocates for civil liberties through litigation, education, and lobbying. It takes on various issues, including racial justice, reproductive rights, and digital privacy. The ACLU believes that everyone deserves to exercise their rights, and it often represents marginalized groups to ensure that their voices are heard and protected.
