MISSION
Founded in 1952 as the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Minnesota continues to promote, protect, and extend the civil liberties and civil rights of people in Minnesota through litigation, lobbying, and community engagement.
The ACLU of Minnesota fulfills its mission in three key ways:

THROUGH LITIGATION - We protect everyone's civil rights by selecting, negotiating, and trying cases with the potential to establish precedent, broaden interpretation, and strengthen your civil liberties. We are supported by volunteer attorneys who donate their time and expertise to our cause.

THROUGH PUBLIC EDUCATION - Educating and engaging the public is key to our mission. We seek to educate Minnesotans about their civil liberties by providing schools with educational materials, by speaking in public on civil liberties, and by mobilizing thousands of individuals to advocate for their rights.

THROUGH LOBBYING - By drafting effective legislation and testifying on bills with civil liberties implications, we ensure that the government does not succeed in infringing on your rights.
