American Civil Liberties Union

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and preserving individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Founded in 1920, it works through litigation, advocacy, and public education to protect civil liberties such as free speech, privacy, and equal protection under the law. The ACLU tackles issues like racial discrimination, voting rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, often representing marginalized groups. By challenging laws and practices that infringe on civil liberties, the ACLU advocates for justice and safeguards democratic principles for all Americans.
