Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and defending individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Established in 1920, it focuses on issues such as free speech, privacy, equal protection under the law, and due process. The ACLU often litigates cases in courts to challenge laws and practices they view as harmful to civil liberties. Through education, advocacy, and legal action, the ACLU aims to ensure that everyone's rights are respected and upheld, regardless of their background or beliefs.
