ABOUT THE ACLU OF UTAH
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a
nationwide, nonpartisan, membership organization dedicated to working
in the courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the
individual rights and liberties guaranteed to all people in this country
by both the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Founded in
1920, the ACLU now has over 550,000 members and supporters (more than
2,500 live in Utah) as well as affiliate or national chapter offices in
all fifty states and Puerto Rico.
Chartered
in 1958 and located in Salt Lake City, the ACLU of Utah is the Utah affiliate of the national ACLU. Through public education, legal advocacy, litigation, and lobbying at
both the state and local levels, the ACLU of Utah seeks to protect the
constitutional rights of all Utahns.
Like the national ACLU, the ACLU of Utah’s work is based on those
principles outlined in the Bill of Rights, and our
priorities include freedom of speech, expression, and association; freedom
of religion, including the separation of church and state; the right to
privacy; safe prison and jail conditions; and equal protection and due
process of our laws.
