The Champaign County chapter of the Illinois ACLU has been active for more than 50 years. Our chapter works to support the ACLU’s wide-ranging agenda in the state legislature, to respond to local civil liberties issues, and to keep our community members informed. We serve on citizen advisory panels and partner with other local organizations such as the Bail Out Coalition, NAACP, and Immigration Forum on issues of joint concern, recently including racial disparities in the local school systems, police and bail reform.
