About American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee

aclu-tn.org

ACLU of Tennessee is the state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, a nonprofit organization that defends and advances constitutional rights across Tennessee. It uses litigation, policy advocacy, public education, and grassroots organizing to challenge unjust laws and practices and to protect freedoms such as free speech, voting rights, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, immigrant rights, and criminal-justice protections. The organization brings legal representation and impact lawsuits, lobbies for legislative change, and runs community campaigns and education programs. It is membership- and donor-supported and partners with the national ACLU to pursue civil-liberties work statewide.
