About the Company

For over 100 years, the ACLU has worked to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States.
The ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people.
Accessibility, equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values of the ACLU and central to our work to advance liberty, equality, and justice for all.
We are a community committed to learning and growth, humility and grace, transparency, and accountability.
We believe in a collective responsibility to create a culture of belonging for all people within our organization – one that respects and embraces difference; treats everyone equitably; and empowers our colleagues to do the best work possible.
We are as committed to anti-oppression and anti-racism internally as we are externally.
The National Political Advocacy Department (NPAD) works to strengthen the efforts of the ACLU at the federal, state, and local levels of government.
The department harnesses the political power that comes from having more than eight million members and supporters, as well as affiliates in every state.
By organizing, grassroots lobbying, and issue campaigns using modern tactics, the ACLU seeks to achieve change as profound in the legislative, administrative and electoral arenas as it has accomplished through the courts.
Within NPAD, the Organizing Division plans and executes high-impact grassroots organizing programs, in collaboration with both the national office and affiliate colleagues, that result in immediate-term success and long-term capacity building.
We work to ensure that supporters, volunteers, community leaders and staff are empowered and supported, realize their power and put it work to defend and advance civil liberties for durable and meaningful change.
