The challenges to civil rights and liberties posed by the current federal government demand action from all of us. At the ACLU of Illinois, we’re fighting back—and we know you share our commitment to protecting immigrant communities, ensuring the safety of trans youth, and defending a free and just democracy.
That’s why we’re building a network of Community Activators—a statewide group of individuals committed to amplifying civil liberties issues and mobilizing their communities to take action. As an Activator, you will:
- Receive monthly updates on upcoming ACLU work, messaging, and activites
- Get immediate alerts for urgent actions—like calling legislators, attending events, or supporting litigation
- Rally their communities and drive local engagement with the ACLU
This program is designed to be flexible and accessible, allowing you to participate in ways that fit your interests and availability. Sign up today to become part of this growing movement and reach out to activator@aclu-il.org if you have any questions!
- Find more ways to be involved
- Take action on federal and state issues
- Make sure you know your rights
