about Voting Rights

President-Elect Trump’s second term agenda is influenced by The Heritage Foundation’s extreme Project 2025 agenda. Read our memos on how to fight back!

Join us this September to know all your rights this election cycle.

Since our nation’s founding, discriminatory policies and laws have created an unequal system in which Black communities have had their civil rights and liberties denied and have been systematically locked out of opportunities in education, housing, employment and more. Through our Systemic Equality agenda, the ACLU will use nationwide litigation, advocacy, and public education to advance laws and policies rooted in racial equity and end discriminatory policies, laws, and practices that have an outsized impact on Black communities. The ACLU will also continue to evolve our own culture, systems, and processes to drive progress toward our internal racial justice commitments, including by committing sustained recruitment and hiring efforts to recruit more diverse talent pools, developing initiatives to promote and retain Black leadership, engaging Black-owned and Black-led businesses, and more. When we have full and equal access to education, jobs, housing, voting rights, and more, better futures are possible.
