The Clark and Cole County Group was formed by local ACLU members and supporters in the wake of the 2024 election. The Group brings together interested people from across the area who are committed to working to protect civil rights and civil liberties and assuring that local government officials protect those rights as well. Of special concern are protections for those seeking access to reproductive health care, protections for LGBTQ+ rights – especially for youth, and protections for immigrants and newcomers in the area.
The Group also serves as a conduit for ACLU members in the area to work in concert with the ACLU of Illinois to advance statewide initiatives and promote the work of the ACLU at the federal level.
If you live in Clark or Cole County and would like to get involved with this group, please reach out to us below.
