Please join the ACLU of Illinois on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Max and Benny's (461 Waukegan Rd, Northbrook, IL) for a special community event on what the ACLU is doing in response to the federal abuse of power and what role you can play in the fight ahead.

Please join the ACLU and supporters in the Barrington area on Sunday, September 28th from 1 PM – 3 PM at the Barrington Area Public Library for an informational meeting on the ACLU’s recent work and a discussion on creating an ACLU group in your community. The current federal administration presents a clear, existential threat to basic civil rights and our democracy. We are seeing continued abuses of federal power – from threats to free expression and bodily autonomy, inhumane mass deportations programs, and the deployment of military troops in our cities. That reality has many of us wondering what we can do to push back against this gross overreach of federal power and fight for additional protections of civil rights and liberties.
