ACLU Supporter, we've been busy here at the ACLU. And it's the strength of our community – dedicated activists like you – that allows us to keep fighting. So we wanted you to be the first to know about these key updates over the last few weeks.

Just this Tuesday, voters across the country sent a clear message that we will not tolerate any attacks on our freedoms. People in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania once again proved that protecting abortion rights is a popular, nonpartisan, and uncontroversial position. And we at the ACLU are already preparing to replicate these results in 2024 in every state that puts our rights on the ballot.

While we plan our path forward after these elections, ACLU lawyers are still hard at work fighting for ALL our civil liberties, including:

On November 1 – in trans justice:

• Our legal team called on the Supreme Court to STOP a cruel Tennessee law that would ban medically necessary gender-affirming care for all trans people under 18.
  
  We know the devastating consequences of stripping transgender youth of their basic right to medical care – so we're asking the Supreme Court to take action to block this unconscionable law and set a clear precedent putting an end to these kinds of attacks.

On October 26 – in voting rights:

• We had a major victory when a federal court ruled that Georgia's state legislative district maps diluted the voting power of Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and must be redrawn.
  
  Everyone deserves a meaningful choice at the polls – and deserves the right to fair representation and equal opportunity to participate in our democracy. This victory helps ensure that every vote is counted equally – and we'll be watching as the legislature redraws maps to make sure that Georgia's final maps fairly represent Black voters.

On October 24 – in racial and gender justice:

• We filed to overturn a statute in Tennessee that would discriminate against people based on their HIV status in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
  
  This statute would criminalize people with HIV, disproportionately impacting transgender Black women, and continue the cycles of poverty that result from our unjust legal system. We're going to federal court to overturn this unscientific, baseless, and discriminatory statute.

ACLU Supporter, the ACLU is only able to fight and win court cases like these thanks to support from people like you – who join us every day in sending letters, signing petitions, and making donations that fuel our work.

Thank you for enabling us to do this crucial work,

The ACLU Team
