About us
The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.” Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe. Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.

Did you catch our bus tour on the road? We loved getting to know folks in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan!
We did a bus tour! The ACLU hit the road to make sure voters know their rights this election. My little secret is I love a bus tour but this was unlike any I’ve worked on. For the past several months, I have spent many, many hours putting together different activations, wrangling speakers, drafting scripts and runs of shows, managing vendors, reviewing contracts, ordering merch, coordinating promotion and driving press and turnout. After four states, five stops, two weeks, it’s been amazing to see all parts of our team put on events that allowed us to get up close with local communities and introduced a new audience to our work.

We’re thrilled to announce Cecillia Wang as our new national legal director. Cecillia has the litigation experience and vision to lead our legal team in the fight to defend our rights. She is the first woman and the first woman of color to be the top lawyer at the ACLU. Cecillia’s more than two decades as a civil rights lawyer have been shaped by an unwavering commitment to defending and advancing freedom, equality, fairness, and the principle that the government is accountable to people. A daughter of immigrants, Cecillia is keenly aware that we build on the sacrifices and investments of generations of the people who precede us in this work. Cecillia played a key role in our legal battles with the Trump administration, including challenging Trump’s 2017 Muslim ban and use of military funds to construct a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. In 2018, she argued before the Supreme Court to end a draconian interpretation of immigration detention statute. Under her leadership, we also fought to end Trump’s family separation policy and block the Trump administration from placing a citizenship question on the 2020 census. Before becoming an ACLU staff attorney in 2004, she served as a public defender in New York, and clerked at the U.S. Supreme Court for both Justice Harry Blackmun and Justice Stephen Breyer. Cecillia replaces David Cole as legal director, after his return to Georgetown Law. Congratulations Cecillia!
