Organizations Filed Purposes: AS NOTED IN ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, THE MISSION OF THE ACLU IS "TO MAINTAIN AND ADVANCE CIVIL LIBERTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FREEDOMS OF ASSOCIATION, PRESS, RELIGION AND SPEECH, AND THE RIGHTS TO THE FRANCHISE, TO DUE PROCESS OF LAW, AND TO EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS FOR ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ITS JURISDICTIONS. THE ACLU'S OBJECTS SHALL BE SOUGHT WHOLLY WITHOUT POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP." THE ACLU TODAY REMAINS FOCUSED ON THE OVERARCHING GOALS SET BY ITS FOUNDERS MORE THAN 90 YRS AGO, SERVING AS THE NATION'S GUARDIAN OF LIBERTY, WORKING DAILY IN COURTS, LEGISLATURES AND COMMUNITIES TO DEFEND AND PRESERVE THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES THAT THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE US GUARANTEE. THE ACLU ALSO WORKS TO EXTEND RIGHTS TO SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION THAT HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN DENIED THEIR RIGHTS, INCLUDING PEOPLE OF COLOR; WOMEN; LESBIANS, GAY MEN, BISEXUALS AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE; PRISONERS; AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES

AFFILIATE SUPPORT - THE ACLU HAS AN AFFILIATE OR CHAPTER IN EVERY STATE AND IN PUERTO RICO. AFFILIATES HANDLE REQUESTS FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE, LOBBY STATE LEGISLATURES AND HOST EDUCATIONAL FORUMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE NATIONAL ACLU COORDINATES FUNDRAISING EFFORTS WITH ITS AFFILIATES AND SHARES THE PROCEEDS OF FUNDRAISING EFFORTS WITH AFFILIATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH A DETAILED POLICY. THROUGH ITS AFFILIATE SUPPORT AND NATIONWIDE INITIATIVES (ASNI) DEPARTMENT, THE NATIONAL ACLU PROVIDES GRANTS AND SUPPORT TO AFFILIATES ON SPECIFIC INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS INVOLVING MATTERS OF BOTH LOCAL/REGIONAL AND NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE. ASNI PROVIDES ONGOING TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO AFFILIATES ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS OF RELEVANCE. THE $70,339,739 OF EXPENSES INCLUDES GRANTS TO AFFILIATES, BEYOND THE $6,644,182 GRANT, TO SUPPORT LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES.

EDUCATION - THROUGH NEWSLETTERS, ITS COMPREHENSIVE WEBSITE, ADVERTISEMENTS, OP-ED ARTICLES, MEDIA INTERVIEWS, PUBLICATIONS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND NUMEROUS MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH ITS AFFILIATES THROUGHOUT THE US, THE ACLU PROVIDES ONGOING EDUCATION TO ITS 1,600,000 MEMBERS AND TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE CONCERNING A WIDE RANGE OF CIVIL LIBERTIES ISSUES. THE ORGANIZATION'S EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS EMPHASIZE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH, ASSOCIATION AND ASSEMBLY; THE RIGHT TO EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW; THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS AND TO FAIR TREATMENT WHEN THE LOSS OF LIBERTY OR PROPERTY IS AT STAKE; AND THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND FREEDOM FROM UNWARRANTED GOVERNMENT INTRUSION INTO PERSONAL AND PRIVATE AFFAIRS.

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY - THE ACLU'S LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATES ARE A CONSTANT PRESENCE ON CAPITOL HILL AND IN STATE LEGISLATURES, WHERE THEY WORK TO ADDRESS CIVIL LIBERTIES ISSUES. BASED PRIMARILY IN THE ACLU'S WASHINGTON, DC OFFICE, THE ORGANIZATION'S LEGISLATIVE POLICY TEAM WORKS TO ENSURE THAT PROPOSED LEGISLATION MOVES TOWARDS, RATHER THAN AWAY, FROM THE CIVIL LIBERTIES GOALS OF THE ORGANIZATION. WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH STAFF FROM ACLU AFFILIATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IN COALITION WITH OTHER GROUPS WITH A SHARED INTEREST IN SPECIFIC CIVIL LIBERTIES ISSUES, THE ACLU CONDUCTS RESEARCH, PUBLISHES POSITION PAPERS, HOSTS FORUMS FOR THE PUBLIC, AND MEETS WITH KEY LEGISLATORS AND MEMBERS OF THEIR STAFFS TO DISCUSS STRATEGIES TO PROTECT CIVIL LIBERTIES AND RIGHTS.
