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.
