Racial Justice

The ACLU Racial Justice Program aims to preserve and extend the Constitutional rights of people of color. Committed to combating racism in all its forms, our advocacy includes litigation, community organizing and training, legislative initiatives and public education. Issues we cover include affirmative action, conditions of confinement, school to prison pipeline, felon enfranchisement, racial profiling, education, criminal justice and juvenile justice.

The ACLU Racial Justice Taskforce, named for long-time ACLU Director Dick Kurtenbach, educates and takes action on racial justice issues. If you are interested in the Racial Justice Taskforce, contact us for more information.
