They take on the toughest civil liberties cases, whether it's fighting for full equality for LGBT people, establishing privacy protections in the digital age, ending mass incarceration, preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion. The ACLU's history is rooted in championing civil liberties, such as defending immigrants facing deportation, advocating for union rights, and denouncing the internment of Japanese-Americans.

They believe in defending the rights of all individuals, even those with controversial opinions, to protect civil liberties for everyone. The ACLU utilizes a nationwide network of staffed affiliate offices, lobbying efforts, and strategic communications to bring about policy change and engage the public on critical civil liberties issues.
