About us
The ACLU of Southern Californnia, founded in 1923, advocates for individual liberty and equality and is a leading guardian against unwarranted government interference and abuse. The ACLU defends the fundamental rights outlined in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These include the right to freedom of speech and assembly; the right to religious freedom; due process of law; equality before the law; and the right to privacy. The ACLU also relies on state constitutional provisions and federal and state laws that further these and similar rights. The ACLU tries to select cases and issues that will impact the greatest number of people. Learn more about the cases the ACLU accepts and how to submit your problem.
