Rights & Resistance with the ACLU

In this column, lawyers and policy experts from the ACLU take on some of the most pressing legal issues of the day.

Whenever people’s rights are under attack, the ACLU shows up.

Whether it’s voting rights, abortion rights, trans rights, racial justice, free speech, criminal justice reform, Indigenous justice, immigrants’ rights and beyond, the ACLU’s members, supporters, clients, volunteers, and staff show up in the streets and at statehouses, ballot boxes, and courts across the country.

We are a community of people who take action through litigation, legislative advocacy, grassroots mobilization, high powered communications efforts, and more no matter who or which political party is in power. We fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us — regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe.

With an office in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico, the ACLU is prepared for the fights ahead.
