The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a non-profit organization in the US that strives to defend and uphold the civil liberties and rights that are supported by the nation’s laws and constitution. Since its establishment in 1920, the group has taken part in a number of well-known cases involving issues of civil freedoms such as freedom of speech, religion, privacy, and voting.
