For nearly 100 years, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has worked every day in the courts, in the legislature, and in communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and laws of the United States.

The ACLU of Massachusetts—a private, nonpartisan organization with more than 82,000 supporters across the Commonwealth and over 100,000 online activists—is a state affiliate of the national ACLU, whose mission is to defend the principles enshrined in the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, as well as the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. 

Volunteer activities have included:

• Phone- and text-banking

• Advocacy at the State House

• Get-out-the-vote efforts
