Friend –
The ACLU is all about one thing: impact.
With just four days left to reach our $1.25 million dollar matching gift goal, the time to make a resounding impact for the year ahead is running out. Join now as a monthly donor. Your first monthly gift will be matched for 2X the impact.
Your support makes a lasting difference. From the courts to the halls of Congress, to the streets, you and the ACLU have shown up all year to fight for our rights – and we have strategic plans to make an even bigger impact in 2023.
And, we've got the receipts to prove it:
WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED…
|
We had 50+ big wins in our legal cases from reproductive rights to the rights of trans youth and more.
|
Over 20,005 new activists joined our Abortion Activism Series after the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
|
Our voting rights lawyers argued 11 redistricting cases in seven states, and eight voter suppression cases in five states – in the lead-up to this year's election.
|
Played a lead alongside other LGBTQ movement advocates to stop over 100 anti-trans bills that were proposed in 36 states.
|
…AND THE FIGHTS AHEAD
|
Advance our litigation efforts across the states and all the way up to the Supreme Court – including our work against classroom censorship laws that threatens the First Amendment right of students and educators.
|
Keep up our massive multi-pronged approach to defend those impacted by the immediate harm of Roe's fall, and continue our strategic, long-term efforts to enshrine the right to reproductive care beyond the scope of a single court case, including expanding our work to protect abortion access.
|
Deploy our full-scale defense against state-level efforts to interfere with free and fair elections in the lead-up to 2024, fight in Congress for our federal voting rights legislation, while also doubling down on our proactive efforts to increase access to the ballot box.
|
Advancing our defensive and affirmative work in courts, statehouses, and communities as state legislatures in 2023 begin – including protecting trans people's right to access gender-affirming health care, school athletics, bathrooms, and more.
|
When we show up together, we win.
We won important battles this year – from the courts to state legislatures to the midterms – but now isn't the time to let up. Now is the time to dig in and keep up the momentum.
Monthly donors are the backbone of the ACLU, and I'm counting on you to become one right now. Please, set up a monthly gift now and your first donation will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, to double your impact at this critical moment.
With gratitude,
