Important Information Before You Contact Us
We do not take walk-ins, provide general legal advice, or offer emergency assistance. We also cannot guarantee a phone, text, or email response.
What to Expect When You Contact Us
Our legal work focuses on high-impact issues that affect many people and can lead to lasting change.
While we try to read and respond to every letter or message, we have limited time and staff. We are a small nonprofit with just a few legal team members. We work across many areas, including LGBTQ+ and immigrants’ rights, reproductive freedom, Indigenous justice, and the rights of people in prison.
When you write or call the ACLU of Utah, your message goes to one person: our Legal Intake Programs Manager. They look for legal problems involving civil or constitutional rights, such as freedom of religion or disability access (covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA). If they find a legal concern, they share it with one of our attorneys. If your issue meets our criteria, the Programs Manager will write back and explain what we can or cannot do. This process may take time. Sometimes, we ask for more information, and other times, we need to clarify the issue.
