WHO WE ARE
For more than 100 years, the ACLU of Massachusetts has defended civil rights and civil liberties, advanced equity, and promoted justice for all.
We work in the courts, the legislature, and communities across the Commonwealth, leading the fight on issues including free expression, immigrants' rights, voting rights, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, racial justice, and criminal legal reform.
The ACLU is a nonpartisan advocacy organization. No matter who holds power, we hold them to account.
