As the executive director of the ACLU, I am reaching out personally to announce our final and most important fundraising drive of the year:
We need to raise $2 million between now and December 31 to ensure we can mount our strongest defense of our rights and liberties against the Trump administration’s attacks in 2026.
I know, that’s a big number. That’s why we’re starting early and asking dedicated supporters like you to help us get off to a strong start by making a gift today. Every dollar fuels the fight in the courts, Congress, and communities nationwide. Will you give now to reach this ambitious – but crucial – goal?
The ACLU began fighting for civil liberties over 105 years ago and, with you, we will continue protecting and expanding our rights for the next 105, too.
But this, right now, is the fight of our lifetime. Our democracy is under attack by an administration that is systematically working to dismantle our rights and silence anyone who gets in their way. We, the people, must fight back.
Thanks to supporters like you, the ACLU is doing just that. Together, we’re defending the First Amendment, including our right to criticize the government and freedom of the press. We’re protecting immigrants’ rights, LGBTQ equality, access to the ballot, reproductive freedom, and so much more.
Thank you,
Anthony D. Romero
