ACLU Supporter –

In the most trying times, the ACLU has always shown up for the fight to protect our fundamental freedoms and our democracy. That remains truer than ever today.

As two ACLU lawyers in the fight for reproductive freedom and voting rights, respectively, we want you to know it's the knowledge that we're part of a much larger community fighting alongside each other – from our courageous clients to generous supporters like you – that keeps us going strong.

But we have a really big fight ahead of us in the coming months. So in case you haven't taken advantage of our end-of-year match with a gift yet, we wanted to reach out to let you know exactly what ongoing support like yours has already achieved for our work:

• Since Roe was overturned, the ACLU and our affiliates have gone to court in 16 states (plus Guam) to protect abortion access.
• As a major national election in 2024 looms, our attorneys have been working nonstop to protect voting rights, expand access to the ballot across the country, with 9 active voter suppression suits across 8 states, and 10 active legal challenges against discriminatory and gerrymandered maps.
• And our fellow attorneys working across the issues are doing other critical work right now: Bringing challenges against anti-trans laws to courts nationwide, lawsuits to stop classroom censorship and book bans, cases to protect immigrants' rights, and so much more.

This is just some of the work – both long-haul fights and sudden emergencies – in the fight for people's rights that your contribution today will support. And remember, if you give before midnight tonight your donation will be matched.

Whatever the amount, having your support makes the difference in the courtrooms, the statehouses, and nationwide.

The ACLU is all in for the fight ahead, friend. We hope you are too: Match your gift before midnight and fuel our fight for civil liberties far into the future.

In solidarity,
