ACLU Supporter – did you see this note from our executive director, Anthony D. Romero?

It's important.

Anthony speaks to the urgency of this moment – rights across our country cannot wait. Doctors are being threatened with prosecution for helping someone seek out-of-state abortion care. The right to vote is being threatened. Students and teachers are being censored.

The ACLU fights back against these attacks on our liberties better than any organization out there – but we simply must hit our critical year-end goal to keep up these fights. With a generous donor matching all gifts toward our $1 million goal, this is your best opportunity to make an impact, so please donate $35 (becomes $70) to help protect the rights of all people nationwide!

Thank you,

The ACLU Team

Hi ACLU Supporter,

It's Anthony, executive director of the ACLU. Sorry to reach out so early, but this kept me wide awake last night: We're short of our year-end goal, and our 2X match offer expires on New Year's Eve.

Why lose sleep over that? Because the reality is, ACLU Supporter, we're at a critical tipping point for our civil liberties as we head into 2024: We can't wait around while doctors face threats for providing abortion care. We can't wait while migrants are being unconstitutionally denied asylum. And, we can't wait while books and free speech are being banned in public schools.

ACLU Supporter, I know you agree: Our rights can't wait. So I'm asking you to help the ACLU hit the ground running in the new year.

Please, don't wait to make a donation. Contribute now, and your gift will go twice as far to help the ACLU defend all of our civil liberties – from free speech to LGBTQ rights.

This offer expires on 12/31

The ACLU has a 100+ year legacy of showing up to protect our rights, and we have so many challenging fights ahead of us in 2024. Your year-end donation today will go twice as far to help us:

• Fight for reproductive freedom by connecting doctors and patients facing abortion-related criminal charges with defense attorneys.
• Defend the rights of migrants by taking states like Texas to court over its inhumane and unconstitutional treatment of asylum seekers.
• Protect free speech by striking down book bans and educational censorship laws that prevent students from discussing race and gender in the classroom.

The ACLU and its network of attorneys are uniquely prepared to take on all of these challenges and more in the new year. While some elected officials foster hate and division, I can promise you this: We will never stop fighting. And I'm willing to bet, ACLU Supporter, that neither will you.

So, if you believe in the ACLU's vision for a future where all of our fundamental civil liberties are upheld, will you make a donation now to help us reach our goal? Your donation will be 2X matched ahead of our Year-End Match deadline on 12/31.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Together we can defend the rights of all people nationwide.

Sincerely,

Anthony D. Romero
