In a world of uncertainty, rest assured: The ACLU of Massachusetts is here to fight for freedom, equality, and justice for all. Just last year, the constitutional right to abortion was struck down by extremists on the U.S. Supreme Court. Across the country, daily assaults on freedom of speech and expression take the form of book bans, drag show prohibitions, and silencing of dissent during public meetings. Rapid advances in technology threaten to create a total surveillance state. Cynical government officials are attempting to suppress voting rights, especially for Black and Brown Americans which, together with partisan gerrymandering, threatens democracy itself. During this era of chaos and uncertainty, you can be sure of one thing: Your ACLU is fighting back — here in Massachusetts and nationwide. We will never stop fighting for freedom and equality. And we need your support, both here in Massachusetts and across the nation. That is why every dollar you give is evenly split between our advocacy here in Massachusetts, and the ACLU’s work in all 50 states. Explore the ACLU of Massachusetts 2023 Action Report as a testament to our unwavering commitment to civil rights and liberties — and as a call to action➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_7fvdWp
