ACLU Supporter,

In June, the Trump administration began expanding the U.S. military's role into immigration and law enforcement to an unprecedented and dangerous degree – now, the President has seized control of the D.C. police and deployed the D.C. National Guard to the streets.

We're not staying on the sidelines while President Trump abuses his power, threatens our fundamental rights, and erodes American democracy beyond recognition. We're fighting back across the country – and we need you with us.

Please, will you rush your first donation now to help the ACLU keep fighting back?

Because when it comes to President Trump's dangerous expansion of power, we, the people, can still fight back. And, powered by the support of people like you, the ACLU is leading the charge:

• Since Inauguration Day, we've taken over 150 legal actions to STOP the Trump administration's unconstitutional policies from going into effect.
• We've helped secure the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, Rümeysa Öztürk, and other international students and faculty who were targeted for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights.
• We've sued to stop ICE from arresting people when they show up for scheduled hearings and denying immigrants' right to due process.
• Outside of the courtrooms, we've mobilized hundreds of thousands of supporters to demand action from our members of Congress, organized dozens of trainings on how to interact with law enforcement and ICE agents, taken to the streets joining and supporting protest nationwide, and much more.

As the Trump administration's attacks on our rights and our communities escalate, we must continue to scale up our resistance accordingly. That's where you come in, ACLU Supporter.

We are counting on this community to help us keep up the court battles, keep mobilizing people nationwide, and keep fighting back against every attack on our rights. This work takes A LOT of resources, so please: Make your first donation now to protect our civil liberties, the rights of all people in this country, and the future of our democracy.

As long as there are people like you who are willing to defend our democracy, democracy will prevail.

Thanks for all you do,

The ACLU Team
