{{{description}}} American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and advancing civil liberties and rights across the United States. In Oregon, the ACLU of Oregon focuses on litigation, education, and lobbying to protect freedoms such as speech, privacy, and due process. Their work includes challenging unlawful surveillance, advocating for immigrant rights, and promoting police accountability.
In Washington, the ACLU of Washington engages in similar efforts, addressing issues like racial justice, free speech, and LGBTQ+ rights. They provide resources such as "Know Your Rights" guides for protesters and participate in community events to educate the public. Their initiatives aim to ensure that all individuals in the state can exercise their rights without discrimination or undue interference.
Both state affiliates operate independently but align with the national ACLU's mission to uphold the Constitution and advocate for the rights of all individuals.
