THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OF SOUTH CAROLINA FOUNDATION, INC. IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVING THE CIVIL LIBERTIES ENSHRINED IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS, LOBBYING AND LITIGATION, THE ORGANIZATION WORKS TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
WE LITIGATE WHEN DOING SO IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ADVANCE CIVIL LIBERTIES CONCERNS. WE FILE LAWSUITS THAT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S RIGHTS BY SETTING LEGAL PRECEDENT OR AFFECTING THE POLICIES AND ACTIONS OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. WE PROVIDE DIRECT LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO INDIVIDUALS AND FILE AMICUS (FRIEND-OF-THE-COURT) BRIEFS ADDRESSING CIVIL LIBERTIES ISSUES IN CASES INITIATED BY OTHERS. OUR LEGAL WORK IS PRO BONO - WE NEVER CHARGE FOR OUR SERVICES. WE LOOK FOR COMPLAINTS THAT RELATE TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION, GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES, PRIVACY, DISCRIMINATION (GENDER, AGE, RACIAL, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND GENDER IDENTITY), REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, SYSTEMATIC POLICE MISCONDUCT, CENSORSHIP IN SCHOOLS OR LIBRARIES, STUDENT RIGHTS, WORKPLACE PRIVACY, AND INHUMANE JAIL AND PRISON CONDITIONS.
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS THE HEART OF OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES WORK. WE BELIEVE THAT AN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS ENSHRINED IN OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS CRITICAL TO THE LIFE OF OUR DEMOCRACY. - PEOPLE POWER IS THE ACLU'S PLATFORM FOR GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING. BY MOBILIZING IN DEFENSE OF OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD AND STRENGTHEN LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT AFFIRM OUR AMERICAN VALUES OF RESPECT, EQUALITY, AND SOLIDARITY THROUGH COMMUNITY ACTIVISM. FOR 99 YEARS, THE ACLU HAS DEFENDED THE CONSTITUTION IN COURT, IN THE LEGISLATURE AND IN COMMUNITIES. NOW, WE'RE COUPLING OUR ADVOCACY POWER WITH COMMUNITY POWER TO FORM PEOPLE POWER. - FREEDOM CITIES ON IMMIGRATION, JUST LIKE ACTIVISTS ORGANIZED LOCALLY TO DEMAND THE RELEASE OF PEOPLE DETAINED AT OUR AIRPORTS BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES, PEOPLE POWER ACTIVISTS ARE ORGANIZING IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THAT OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS DEFEND - NOT THREATEN - OUR FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND NEIGHBORS. FREEDOM CITIES PROVIDES A BLUEPRINT FOR LOCAL-LEVEL CAMPAIGNS TO TO DEFEND IMMIGRANTS FROM TRUMP'S MASS DEPORTATION AGENDA.
