Take Action: Tell Congress to Restore Our Constitutional Rights
|
For nearly seven years, America’s core values of freedom and fairness have been eroded, from the suspension of habeas corpus and due process, to shameful acts of torture, CIA kidnappings, and secret prison programs.
Tell Congress and the White House that Americans won't stand on the sidelines while the president does away with our core values -- sign the ACLU’s petition to Restore Our Constitutional Rights. We’ve already collected nearly 70,000 signatures but we need over 100,000 signatures to make a real impact. Help us reach our goal by signing the petition today.
Then on June 26, join the ACLU in Washington, D.C. to deliver the petition to Congress. That day, the ACLU, dozens of other organizations, and thousands of activists will descend on Capitol Hill to demand that lawmakers restore habeas corpus, fix the Military Commissions Act, and restore all our constitutional rights. Rally with us outside the Capitol, then help deliver our urgent message in person to your members of Congress. This is your chance to make your voice heard! Sign up now to be part of this historic event.
