ACLU – August 5, 2024

Posted on August 5, 2024

ACLU Supporter,

With the election less than 100 days away, the ACLU is working harder than ever to protect our democracy against some of the most severe threats we’ve ever seen. If you’re concerned about our democracy and ready to fight with us, make your first gift to the ACLU now. It’s going to take all of us.

Donate NOW

Project 2025 is a roadmap for trampling on our most fundamental rights and freedoms, and if we wait until after Election Day to address these disastrous policies, it will be too late. That’s why we are doing everything we can to fight it now.

We have a roadmap of our own for how we plan to defend our rights and freedoms from the extreme policies outlined in Project 2025 – and your support is what will equip us to carry it out:

Project 2025 Proposal

The ACLU’s Response

Mass voter roll purges; Federal law enforcement intimidation at the polls.

Work with Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and key provisions of the Freedom to Vote Act to restore and strengthen protections against voter suppression – while continuing to show up for fair maps and voting rights in court.

Drastically restrict legal immigration; Carry out mass deportations; Obliterate asylum and humanitarian protections.

Advocate for measures to rein in the ICE detention machine, while building state protections against federal use of state resources for an anti-immigration agenda.

Take abortion medication off the shelves; Misuse a law from the 1800s to prosecute abortion providers nationwide.

Fight for a new federal law to ensure access to abortion for everyone, no matter where they live

Continue winning fights for birth control, family planning services, and abortion access in court and in state legislatures.

Ban lifesaving health care for transgender people; Expel trans people from the military; Wipe away federal prohibitions on discrimination against LGBTQ people.

Push Congress to use the appropriations process to block federal anti-trans discrimination – while working in states and school boards to protect LGBTQ students with inclusive policies regardless of government discrimination.

We’re more than ready to take on all these fights and more. It’s what we’ve been doing for over 100 years, and we’re not stopping. Now, with less than 100 days to support voter turnout, we urgently need you with us.

The stakes have never been higher, ACLU Supporter. We’re going all in to protect our democracy and our most fundamental rights – what about you? Make a donation to the ACLU to fund our critical work today.

In solidarity,

The ACLU Team
