Dear ACLU Supporter,
We recently asked our ACLU online community to take part in a survey that would help us learn more about what matters to you most. While we continue to collect results, we wanted to tell you about what we’ve already found -- and to update you on some critical upcoming projects.
If you haven’t already, please take the survey and let us know what’s on your mind.
Here’s some of what we’ve learned so far:
- Protecting free speech and the right to dissent is the top cause for our supporters.
- Over 90% of surveyed members thought that the ACLU’s legal advocacy and engagement to protect the Constitution is our most important task.
- And perhaps most encouraging to us, 80% of members believe that the work we do locally remains critical, and a substantial number of our supporters feel that the ACLU is a strong presence in their community.
These results make one thing overwhelmingly clear -- we are supported by dedicated activists who understand that the rights guaranteed in the Constitution are only as strong as our willingness to fight for them.
And it’s great to know that ACLU supporters are so engaged because the challenges we face ahead will take an unyielding dedication and commitment.
There's so much to do in the coming weeks and months -- from defending reproductive rights to reforming Patriot Act abuses that have undermined our fundamental freedoms for far too long.
To give you just one example of a critical project we’ll need your support on, the ACLU is in federal court right now, challenging Mississippi’s state-funded abstinence-only education program. These programs spend taxpayer money to spread religious messages. We are keeping up the pressure in Mississippi and in states across the country making sure no one can use government authority to impose one set of morality on the rest of us.
We hope you’ll continue to stay connected with us -- it’s the support of you and other ACLU supporters that makes this vital work possible. Your energy is crucial as we continue to work to protect our rights and defend our freedoms. Sincerely,
Eric, Gerri, Lisa, Shannon, Suzanne and Jeremy
