ACLU Supporter, we're in the fight of our lifetime.

Since day one of the Trump administration, we've already had to take more than 200 legal actions to protect our most fundamental civil rights from attacks – from freedom of speech to immigrants' rights and so much more.

That's why this year, we're starting Giving Tuesday early. Our goal is to raise $1 million this year to ensure we can keep fighting in courtrooms, Congress, and communities nationwide. Will you be one of the first to make an early Giving Tuesday gift to the ACLU?

When you donate today, your gift will go directly toward the most critical fights facing our nation:

Free Speech
With blatant disregard for the First Amendment, the Trump administration is seeking to punish anyone – from student protesters like Mahmoud Khalil to late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel – who dares to express views the administration doesn't approve of. The ACLU is fighting back, organizing, and litigating to protect the right to protest, to free students unfairly detained for their on-campus speech, and to defend freedom of the press.

Immigrants' Rights
President Trump promised early on to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, and from day one of his second administration, he has attempted to do just that. The administration has tried to get rid of birthright citizenship, worked to dismantle asylum, denied due process, and ripped families and communities apart. We are suing to prevent these cruel and unconstitutional policies at every turn, but we need your help to keep it up.

LGBTQ Equality
The Trump administration is systematically working to deny transgender people the freedom to be ourselves – banning gender affirming health care, trying to mandate discrimination against LGBTQ students at colleges and universities, trying to prevent trans and intersex people from accessing accurate identity documents like passports, and rolling back critical protections from discrimination. Let's be clear: Trans people have always existed and will continue to do so. And with your support, the ACLU will always be there to defend everyone's right to live openly and freely.

And so much more…
For more than 100 years, the ACLU has fought to defend our fundamental rights and liberties – and with your continued support, we'll be there to do so for the next 100 years, too.

But this work is only possible with your support. So, please, as one of our most committed supporters, will you make an early Giving Tuesday donation to support our vital work?

For democracy,

The ACLU Team
