The Political Strategies Department leads the development and implementation of non-partisan political advocacy strategies to move decision makers on ACLU of Washingtons policy priorities. The department comprises ACLU-WAs legislative and field programs, including lobbying, coalition building, activist engagement, and persuasion. PSD identifies individuals in positions to deliver on ACLU policy goals and works closely with the communications department, policy advocacy group, and aligned organizational partners to plan and execute campaigns targeted to achieve maximum impact in the advancement of civil liberties and civil rights.
The ACLU engages in public policy work at the local and state levels to promote freedom, equity and justice for all. ACLU experts provide legal and policy expertise to agencies and legislative bodies that are grappling with plans, policies, state rules, or legislation that impact civil rights and liberties. Our policy specialists focus on civil liberties in the areas of technology and privacy rights, youth, drug policy, health care, and criminal justice. The ACLU is frequently invited by public officials to join as a stakeholder in policy development. Our legislative work is enhanced by advocacy strategies that engage and mobilize our supporters. We accomplish our work in coalition with other community organizations, especially those most directly affected by government policies.
Using traditional and new media, the ACLU-WA communications program provides clear and useful information and ongoing education to our members and the public with respect to a wide scope of civil liberties issues and concerns. The ACLU-WA is in daily contact with media outlets to develop articles, frame issues and influence opinions. The communications team coordinates events, a speakers bureau, and student clubs. We publish a newsletter, maintain a web site, www.ACLU-WA.org, and engage supporters via a variety of social media.
