"The ACLU Never Stopped Defending Free Speech"

Free speech rights apply to everyone, regardless of their citizenship status. Yet the Trump administration continues to abuse its power by attempting to silence anyone it disagrees with.

We will continue to defend free speech, academic freedom, and the rights of the press. | ACLU of Northern California
