Protesting is our constitutional right. Period.

TEXAS: Don't be afraid to show up and exercise one of our most powerful tools for change.

S.B 4 is currently blocked. If allowed to take effect, it would make our already broken immigration system worse.

Cruel and unconstitutional laws like S.B. 4 do not belong in Texas — or anywhere else. Period. cnn.com/2024/04/14/us/…

People in Travis County are being forced to participate in criminal court hearings without an attorney to protect their rights.

We're suing to ensure that people arrested have access to constitutionally-required access to lawyers.

Schools across our state should be working to ensure that young, eligible Texans are registered to vote.

All eligible Texans, no matter our age, race, or background, deserve access to the ballot box.

Reminder that THESE are some of the most challenged books in the country:
📚 'The Bluest Eye' by Toni Morrison.
📚 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky.

This unconstitutional censorship is largely targeting stories about LGBTQIA+ people and communities of color.

We couldn't agree more. Denying people their legal right to seek asylum does nothing to fix the problems at the border or our broken immigration system.

“It is imperative that schools avoid suppressing free speech or violating the civil liberties of students and faculty due to their support for the human rights of all people, including Palestinians.”

'All students deserve to be treated with dignity. At my school and so many others in HISD, they are not getting it.'

The state's takeover of Houston ISD is hurting students' education and threatening teachers' livelihoods.

No one should be forced to navigate the already confusing criminal legal system without an attorney — yet that’s exactly what’s happening in Travis County.

We need change. Now. hoodline.com/2024/04/aclu-o…

Texas politicians have no business threatening doctors and forcing pregnant people into severe illnesses and death.

Years of restricted or prohibited access have shown what we knew all along: Abortion is health care. newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

Texas politicians’ ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs sends a clear message about who they think belongs.

We shouldn’t have to say this: Our diversity is our strength. Texas students and staff deserve better.

If allowed to take effect, Texas’ would let police arrest people over suspicions about immigration status.

That’d put people of color — who already face higher rates of policing, prosecution, and incarceration — at even greater risk of harassment. aclu.org/podcast/the-mo…
