Organize with the ACLU SoCal
Last updated on June 02, 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.
BUDGET JUSTICE VOLUNTEER HUDDLE (2026)
Should a county continue to invest millions of dollars locking people up or instead use that money to create more affordable housing? We think you know the answer. Budgets go beyond dollars and cents; they're a reflection of our community's values and what we care most about. We care about services and housing, not mass incarceration.
Hear directly from the ACLU SoCal's staff on why budget justice is a civil rights issue and how you have a right to voice how your tax dollars are spent.
WE KEEP US SAFE ACTIVIST HUDDLES (2025)
From ICE kidnapping members of our immigrant communities and the escalating number of lives lost while held in custody to the attacks on arts justice and our freedom to read, how can we keep our communities safe? In 2025, like-minded advocates, organizers, attorneys, volunteers and more joined our activist huddles to share their perspectives on how we fight for our collective safety.
