ACLU – August 24, 2024

Posted on August 24, 2024

ACLU Supporter,

We’re facing attacks on our democracy and fundamental rights at every level – and with the election less than 100 days away, these attacks are reaching a fever pitch.

It’s never been more important that we can take on these fights – but as this work ramps up, we’re relying now more than ever on the generosity of people like you who are committed to the fight for civil liberties to help us keep up our urgent work in this unprecedented moment.

That’s why we have a special offer right now: When you take the next step in your support for the ACLU by giving a one-time donation of $35 or more by August 31, we’ll send you a free ACLU T-shirt as a token of our gratitude.

At such a critical moment, the ACLU is facing the threats to our democracy head-on, going up against voter restrictions in almost half the country, and battling discriminatory anti-trans legislation across the nation.

Your generosity will help the ACLU continue our efforts leading up to Election Day to:

  • Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and fortify the Voting Rights Act of 1965, ensuring equal access to the ballot box for all
  • Deploy hundreds of volunteers in key states to protect our elections and educate voters
  • Show up in state legislatures to defend our rights

We’re not new to this work, ACLU Supporter – we’ve been doing it for over 100 years. But none of what we’ve accomplished in our long history would have been possible without generous support from advocates and donors, and now we’re counting on you to make all of the work that the future requires of us possible.

So please, renew your support today: Make a one-time donation of $35 before August 31 and we’ll send you a free ACLU T-shirt to say thank you.

In solidarity,

Sarah Bleviss
Director of Digital Campaigns
Pronouns: She, her, hers

P.S. You can expect to receive your T-shirt within 4-6 weeks after making your donation. Thank you again for your commitment to fighting with us for all our civil rights.
