ACLU Supporter, it's the executive director of the ACLU. I'm reaching out to supporters because tomorrow is Giving Tuesday – one of the biggest fundraising days of the year for a nonprofit like us, and we need your help.

Our team set a goal to raise $1 million before tomorrow at midnight. It's ambitious, but that's what it's going to take to defend all of our rights – from abortion access to voting rights to free speech.

While so much is uncertain in our country right now, we know one thing for sure: Our rights can't wait. That's why a generous donor offered to start our 2X match opportunity a day early. And that's also why I'm turning to you today: Will you make an early Giving Tuesday donation now and double your impact on our mission to defend the rights of all people nationwide?

ACLU Supporter, by making a donation ahead of our Giving Tuesday deadline, your contribution will help ACLU lawyers, advocates, and organizers in the fight for our rights, including:

• Supporting doctors and patients in the 21 states where abortion is restricted or banned by connecting those who are facing abortion-related charges with legal support.
• Organizing to defeat the 322 voter suppression bills that have been introduced in state legislatures that threaten to further shut out marginalized people from our democratic process.
• Taking school districts and elected officials to court over their censorship policies, in an effort to curtail the 40% increase in book bans that we saw in 2022 as compared to the year before.

With so much on the line, falling short of our Giving Tuesday goal isn't an option. Our rights can't wait – and we need funding now to show up strong every time our freedoms are violated.

That's why I'm counting on dedicated ACLU supporters like you to make an early 2X matched donation today: Will you give now, ACLU Supporter?

Thank you for believing in the ACLU's mission. If we work together, I know we can build a more perfect union.

Sincerely,

Anthony D. Romero
