Vision

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has worked in courts, legislatures and communities to protect the constitutional rights of all people. With a nationwide network of offices and millions of members and supporters, we take up the toughest civil liberties fights. Beyond one person, party or side - we the people dare to create a more perfect union. ACLU-DE has been the "underdog’s watchdog" for over half a century. We are a first resort when the government threatens our rights in Delaware and a last hope when we are deprived of our liberties. Our ongoing efforts today to promote racial justice, criminal legal reform, expanded voting rights, and more are only the next step in our organization’s history. We will continue our work to protect and expand civil liberties in Delaware, because we know all too well that "the fight for civil liberties never stays won."

Goals

1. 1.Voting rights: We believe that our communities deserve a democracy that works for us. That’s why one of our goals is to ensure that all Delawareans may cast an informed ballot freely and fairly.
2. 2.Our justice system disproportionately impacts communities of color and perpetuates systemic racism. Our goal: Reducing racial disparities in the justice system and the prison population by 50%.
3. 3.Ensure that Delaware delivers the promise of an equitable education for all children. Funding, equity, and disparity issues all contribute to a system that has been leaving children behind for decades
