The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.”
Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe.
Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.
The SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people.
We focus our legal, advocacy, and public education efforts on four major areas representing some of the most significant challenges facing the South and beyond: protecting voting rights and civic engagement; eradicating poverty in our Southern communities; dismantling white nationalism and protecting democracy; and decriminalizing and decarcerating Black and Brown people.
We are for honest leadership and open government.
We believe that innovative leadership creates jobs and that investments in education pay off. We know that we need a healthcare system that works for everyone, and that our retiring seniors deserve dignity and security.
We believe these truths because we value collective responsibility and smart, practical policies that benefit everyone--not just the most fortunate Georgians.
And we know that when we promote opportunities for all Georgians, it lifts everyone to the top.
