Organize with the ACLU SoCal
Last updated on May 20, 2026
We are people who care deeply about the attacks on our freedom and want to organize with others to turn shared values into collective power. Our rights and communities are under threat, and organizing and strengthening our collective power is more important than ever.
We dare to re-imagine what collective safety looks like and are doubling down to defend our rights, propel progress in California, and keep each other safe during a time of rising authoritarianism. Volunteer with us.
