Mission:
The ACLU's mission remains realizing the
promise of the Bill of Rights for all and expanding the reach
of its guarantees to new areas.
Today, the ACLU is standing
up for freedom in a clear, unequivocal and effective fashion.
From abortion rights, to same-sex marriage, to government-funded
religion, the ACLU is on the ground in all 50 states, Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands fighting those who would
use the power of the government to dictate its citizens’ moral
choices.
The ACLU has maintained the
position that civil liberties must be respected, even in
times of national emergency. The ACLU is supported by annual
dues and contributions from its members, plus grants from
private foundations and individuals. We do not receive any
government funding.

There are many cases and problems of unfairness
and injustice which we are simply unable to handle. We receive
many requests for assistance each month; therefore, we cannot
accept all of the complaints that fall within our guidelines.
We must select those which we believe will have the greatest
impact on protecting civil liberties.
The increasing volume of emails that
we receive weekly forces us to accept written communication
on our Complaint
Form by regular postal mail and/or via Fax, exclusively.
