Friend –

You haven't heard from me before but I had to reach out because there's only a few hours left of Giving Tuesday and we're still trying to unlock our full $1 million dollar matching gift opportunity.

At this time in our country's history, when our reproductive freedom is being erased, when trans youth are being prevented from accessing life-saving healthcare, when Black and brown voters are being suppressed, there is nothing more important than the fight the ACLU is pushing forward right now.

So if you haven't had a chance to make your monthly gift and take advantage of our 2x match, please let me lay out the far-reaching impact you'll be making on our work ahead:

• You and your support will be there with our legal team, after hours of case research, when they find the argument that will win a case to uphold someone's constitutional rights – from voters in Georgia to trans communities in Florida – whether at district court or all the way up to the Supreme Court. Your support will be there.
• You and your support will be in the room for every "let's get on the phone with them" moment when one of our policy experts is relentlessly pushing reps to pass a needed bill in Congress or demanding better from our federal government – from a nationwide safeguard for abortion to protecting immigrants' rights at the border. Your support will be there.
• You and your support will be out there alongside our organizers mobilizing local communities in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico – whether making calls in the lead-up to elections, during legislative sessions, or on any given Tuesday – to ensure in every region and at every level, the rights of the people are protected. Your support will be there.

ACLU Supporter, this is the momentous fight you can choose to join right here and now – so please give monthly for Giving Tuesday. Your support will be doubled and you'll help us unlock our $1 million match by midnight.

We only have a little time left, but if we all show up today – we can keep fighting strong for all our rights tomorrow.

In solidarity,
