WHAT IS THE ACLU? The purpose of tr~e American CIvil Liberties Union-and its only purpose-is the preservation & strengthening of the freedoms guaranteed to us under the Bill of Rights. There are many government officials & private citizens &: special 1n terrest groups who think our constitutional guarantees of freedom of inquiry & expression, due process of law &: equality before the law should be denied to certain c1 tlzehs vrhorn they consider undeserving. They be li~ve they have the right to de cide who ID or Is not descrving. ACLU believes, as our nation's founding fathers believed, that nc one should have the privil ege of deciding who is deserving of the rights guaranteed to us under the Constitution. Th~se rights belong to all-}'/lthout exceftion. WHAT DOES THE ACLU DO? n The Coubt: The everyday business of the ACLU is heiping people whose civil liberties have been violated. Much of this work is in the courts. Each year the ACLU enters into hundreds of court cases . It may supply coun sel for the person whose civil liberties have been denied, or it may submit a "friend of the court" brief which argues the constitutional question at stake Many of the cases,fought by the ACLU are of historic significan ce-such as the famed Scopes v. State of :Sennessee Imonkey trial ' In recant years,ACLU and its affiliates have won many notable victories before the U.S.Supreme Court p~ote ctin g rights of free speech, the right of peaceful protest,the right to counsel, freedom o~ the pr~ss,decisions religion in the public schools & the widespread evil of introducing illegally seized ev idence in state courts. Constant activities by ACLU aff iliates across the nation are ssary t o prevent unfair court proceedures. In THE COMr:. tj1'1 - : Through contacts with pub officials, ACLU is frequent able to secure the adoption enlightened policies designea protect & extend constitution nights.
