Mission Statement
The Oregon Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a non-partisan organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU of Oregon works in courts, in the legislature, and in communities to protect and advance our civil rights and liberties. We work so our democracy can better serve all people. Our role is to be a principled visionary – not just to respond to crises, but to create openings for the envisioning and creation of a more just, equitable, and caring Oregon.
About This Cause
Since its founding in 1955, the ACLU has sought to expand and fully realize the rights that are fundamental to a free people: freedoms of press, speech, assembly, and religion, and the rights to due process, equal protection and privacy. We do this by building community by engaging and activating the public in issues affecting them at the state and local levels. We advocate for legislation at the state and local levels that furthers our mission for a more just, equitable, and caring Oregon. We fight in the courts alongside people in our community whose civil rights and civil liberties are denied or violated, seeking systemic changes that build a more just and free community for all. We inform the people of their rights, and empower the public to use their rights to create a better, stronger democracy. We educate the public on the complex web of systems and actors that can act as barriers to transformative justice work.
