He'll have to get past us – all of us.

ACLU Supporter, I want you to hear this directly from me: The ACLU has a plan to defend our freedoms.

Over the last few days, you've heard from the ACLU's team, myself included, about our plan to hold the Trump administration accountable on day one of his second term:

* Utilize the country's court system to combat discriminatory tactics, including attacks on housing, health care and employment for LGBTQ individuals

* Challenge the administration's dangerous attacks on reproductive freedom – including attempts to take medication abortion off the shelves – through advocacy efforts in Congress and at the state level

* Work with local officials to resist collusion with the administration's anti-immigrant efforts through federal partnership programs

Now, I'm reaching out to share what's next for our work to hold them accountable and protect our most fundamental civil rights. ACLU Supporter, today, we're launching the ACLU's Freedom Defense Fund: a fund with the purpose of stopping Trump's attacks through legal action, advocacy, and community organizing, as well as supporting our ongoing efforts to defend civil rights – and we're asking you to become an inaugural donor. <[link removed]>

We know that these attacks on our rights will only escalate during this upcoming term. If his campaign promises – threats of mass deportation, complete bans on abortion access, and retaliation against political opponents – are any indication, we must prepare for a full-scale attack on our most fundamental rights.

That's why we're asking our supporters to make a donation today. We've appeared in front of the U.S. Supreme Court more than any other organization in the country. At the first sign that any of our civil rights or civil liberties are being attacked, we won't hesitate to escalate that fight – that's what your generous support allows us to do.

By making a donation toward our Freedom Defense Fund as an inaugural donor, you will ensure that the ACLU can fight back at the first moment Trump attacks our rights. Our legal and advocacy teams won't wait until Trump officially takes office to hold his incoming administration accountable, and your support today allows us to put our plans into action right away.

Become an inaugural donor right now by making a donation to fund our work protecting our rights from attacks by the Trump administration and beyond. <[link removed]>

The fight ahead will be challenging, but with the support of people like you, I know that we will win.

With thanks,
