The Greater Rockford ACLU Community Group was formed by local ACLU members and supporters in the wake of the 2024 election. The Group is committed to working in unison – and collectively with other organizations in the region – to ensure the broadest protections for civil rights and civil liberties across the Rockford area. 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 Rockford area.
The Group also serves as a conduit for ACLU members in the Rockford 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 the greater Rockford area and would like to get involved with the Greater Rockford Group, please reach out to us below.
