The ACLU of Arkansas is an affiliate of the ACLU, the nation’s premier defender of the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Our mission is to fight government abuse and to vigorously defend individual freedoms including free speech, racial justice, voting rights, privacy, religious liberty, reproductive rights, LGBTQ equality, and much more. The ACLU stands up for these rights even when the cause is unpopular, and sometimes when nobody else will. While not always in agreement with us on every issue, Americans have come to count on the ACLU for its unyielding dedication to principle.
