Liberty doesn’t have a gender, and the American Civil Liberties Union is committed to keeping it that way. We work to ensure that women can enjoy the benefits of full equality and participation in work, education, and every sphere of society.

The Bill of Rights would only be well-meaning promises if people did not fight to protect it. The ACLU is the nation’s premier organization dedicated to defending and expanding civil liberties and civil rights for all people in America. Our job is to conserve America's original civic values - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

• We're in the courts every day for hundreds of ordinary Americans - when their rights to equal treatment, fairness, privacy, freedom of speech or religion are threatened.
• We are working to resist government responses to terrorism that make us less free and no safer.
• We staunchly support every person's right to make personal decisions - without government interference - about religion, abortion, marriage, and other family and lifestyle matters. We are working to make sure that emerging technologies do not diminish our right to privacy and that freedom of speech is protected in cyberspace.
• The ACLU is a leader in the fight for equal opportunity regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

It takes a lot of time, resources, and dedicated members to safeguard liberty. That's why the ACLU needs you. In each generation, people who care about freedom step forward to ensure that it survives. We hope you are one of those people - and that you'll join with others like yourself as a proud member of the ACLU.
