Economic Justice
The ACLU of Massachusetts works to ensure that all people have their basic rights protected regardless of their wealth or income.
From fighting for safe working conditions to advocating for paid family and medical leave, the ACLU has always been a staunch ally of workers and people with low incomes.
We are also challenging the government’s practice of issuing excessive penalties for minor infractions (such as unpaid fines and fees) that can keep Bay Staters trapped in cycles of poverty.
