ACLU In A Nutshell :
- "So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy." - ACLU Founder Roger Baldwin
- Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
- Your right to equal protection under the law - protection against unlawful discrimination.
- Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
- Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
- In conclusion to ACLU, it covers protecting the most vulnerable memebers of our society. Members that dont have the ability to fight back and say something due to their placement in our society. I believe that it is a crucial and important organization in our economy that is needed to fix inequality.
