ACLU Supporter,

The ACLU has a long legacy of defending civil liberties and working to protect the rights enshrined in our Constitution – 105 years to be exact.

But even we have never seen a moment quite like this one.

Unlawful mass detentions and deportations. Excessive force against protesters. Censorship of journalists and artists. Retaliation against dissenters.

These are just some of the authoritarian tactics we saw in 2025 from the Trump administration. Defending our rights from these threats is the fight of our lifetime, and we're counting on you to help us keep battling in 2026.

That's why we set an end-of-year fundraising goal of $2 million – a goal that's as necessary as it is ambitious. You and your fellow supporters in all 50 states and beyond power the fight in courtrooms, Congress, and communities nationwide. Your support helps protect our democracy against authoritarian threats – and this work is going to take all of us.

Each of us has a role to play, and the ACLU needs your partnership to meet this historic moment. Please make your year-end donation today.

Thank you,

The ACLU Team
