The ACLU of Alabama is a private, non-profit membership organization dedicated to defending individual rights and personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As freedom's watchdog, they work tirelessly in the courts, legislatures, and communities to preserve and protect civil liberties and civil rights. Their work spans various areas, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, privacy, discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, police misconduct, censorship in schools or libraries, workplace privacy, access to government documents, inhumane jail and prison conditions, and fair treatment by the government.

It's important to note that the ACLU of Alabama does not handle cases involving evictions, landlord-tenant disputes, general employee-employer disputes, criminal prosecutions, divorce, child custody, or wills. They are focused on issues related to civil liberties and civil rights. To seek legal assistance, individuals must submit a written request as the ACLU of Alabama does not conduct in-person interviews or accept walk-ins.
