civil liberties organizations

Civil liberties organizations are groups that advocate for the protection and promotion of individual rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, privacy, and due process under the law. They work to ensure that government actions do not infringe upon these rights and often engage in legal advocacy, public education, and lobbying to influence policy. Notable examples include the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Amnesty International. These organizations play a crucial role in defending the rights of individuals, particularly marginalized groups, and safeguarding democratic principles in society.
