ACLU $5.00 Donation

We have grown from that roomful of civil libertarians to more than 1.5 million members. The ACLU today is the nation's largest public interest law firm, with a 50-state network of staffed, autonomous affiliate offices. We appear before the United States Supreme Court more than any other organization except the U.S. Department of Justice. About 100 ACLU staff attorneys collaborate with about 2,000 volunteer attorneys in handling close to 2,000 cases annually.

The ACLU is non-profit and non-partisan. We do not receive any government funding. Member dues and contributions and grants from private foundations and individuals pay for the work we do. The ACLU, with headquarters in New York City, litigates across the nation and all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Our Washington, D.C., legislative office lobbies the U.S. Congress. We use strategic communications to educate the public about issues. And the ACLU has expanded its reach by applying international human rights standards in our complex Post 9/11 world. A number of national projects address specific civil liberties issues: AIDS, capital punishment, lesbian and gay rights, immigrants' rights, prisoners' rights, reproductive freedom, voting rights, women's rights and workplace rights. Donate to the ACLU today to help protect the rights and liberties of people across the country. Right now, we're:

Protecting free speech and the right to protest
Defending reproductive freedom
Fighting anti-LGBTQ discrimination
Safeguarding the rights of refugees and immigrants
This vital work and more depends on your support. Make a donation to the ACLU today — help us fight back.
