American Civil Liberties Union. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization whose stated mission is to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.. It works through litigation and lobbying.
But often it is citizens themselves who use one part of the government â usually the courts â to stop another part of the government from infringing on their freedoms and rights. Citizen organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union have been particularly active in using the courts to protect our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to vote, etc. In the end, then, we depend heavily on the tools of democratic government to protect peopleâs rights. When we want to limit the abusive activities of government â such as unreasonable searches or unfair appropriations of our property â we need to rely on the positive actions of another part of the government to do so.
