$500 goal

I’m Tom OBrien.

I’m fundraising for ACLU of Delaware.

Please join me in helping to support the local work of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)!

The ACLU of Dealware has been fighting for the rights of those in Delaware for over 100 years - help me in supporting their important work in these areas!

  • Criminal Justice Reform: The ACLU of Delaware works to end mass incarceration and achieve a smart, fair, and equitable criminal justice system.

  • Discrimination: Every day people of color, immigrants, women and people with disabilities face unfair and unequal treatment. Share your story, so ACLU-DE can help end discriminatory practices for all

  • Economic Justice: Economic justice is a civil right. The ACLU of Delaware fights to protect some of society's most economically vulnerable residents, including low-income students, homeless people and low-paid workers seeking equitable working conditions and living wages.

  • Education Equity & Students’ Rights: Students don't leave their rights at the schoolhouse doors. ACLU-DE fights to protect students’ rights in the classroom and ensure access to a fair, adequate education for all.

  • Free Speech: The Constitution's framers believed that freedom of inquiry and free expression were the hallmarks of a democratic society. But historically, at times of national stress — real or imagined — First Amendment rights come under enormous pressure.

  • Immigration: Our Constitution guarantees the fundamental rights and civil liberties of every person in this country — regardless of citizenship, refugee, or immigration status.

About ACLU of Delaware

Mission: This year, the ACLU of Delaware is prioritizing creating a Firewall for Freedom to safeguard our rights and push back against an aggressive federal agenda that threatens many of our civil liberties.

The mission of the ACLU of Delaware is to preserve and advance civil liberties and civil rights in the State of Delaware as enshrined in the United States and Delaware Constitutions through education and advocacy without consideration of political association.

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has worked in courts, legislatures and communities to protect the constitutional rights of all people. With a nationwide network of offices and millions of members and supporters, we take up the toughest civil liberties fights. Beyond one person, party or side - we the people dare to create a more perfect union.
