Racial Justice
The ACLU aims to preserve and extend constitutionally guaranteed rights to people who have historically been denied their rights on the basis of race.
Despite generations of activism prompting widescale social and legal reforms, systemic racism remains entrenched in the U.S. People of color are disproportionately impacted by incarceration, police violence, environmental pollutants, transphobic violence, and voter suppression, to name a few issues.
The ACLU of Massachusetts seeks to preserve and extend the constitutionally guaranteed rights of people of color in Massachusetts and support their full and active participation in the democratic process.
