The American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia (ACLU-D.C.) envisions a just and free D.C. where everyone, particularly historically oppressed communities, lives free from systemic governmental oppression. With the support of over 10,000 members and supporters, we use an integrated advocacy approach—public education, political advocacy, and litigation—to protect and advance civil liberties and civil rights for people who live in, work in, and visit D.C. We are a local affiliate of the ACLU, a nonpartisan nonprofit that dares to create a more perfect union.
