Take Action

The House budget debate begins on Monday, April 27. We need your help to make sure economic justice is included in the FY 2027 budget! Together with our Road to Opportunity Act coalition partners, the ACLU of MA is advocating to end the practice of suspending people's driver's licenses for debt-based reasons – such as falling behind on E-ZPass tolls. This will help keep Bay Staters working and prevent them from spiraling into financial instability. Join us in advocating for economic justice. Tell the House to include Amendment #1442 in the budget!

Thanks to the tireless advocacy of people like you, the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act passed in both the Massachusetts House and Senate!

With Flock Safety's license plate reader (LPR) technology, law enforcement agencies across the country can track Massachusetts drivers in real-time — without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. Flock's nationwide data sharing model puts our civil rights and civil liberties at risk. Public records obtained by ACLU Massachusetts confirm that over 40 Massachusetts police departments have contracts with Flock. Does your local police department use Flock LPR technology?

An anonymous Massachusetts resident and ACLU supporter has offered a generous match, doubling all gifts made before the end of the year up to $50,000. In the face of unprecedented attacks on our democracy and our civil rights and civil liberties, this donor is choosing to fight back with their philanthropic advocacy. Together with you, they are choosing community.
