Who We Are

The ACLU-DE works to protect the civil liberties and civil rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, especially the principles contained in the Bill of Rights, and the Delaware Constitution. The ACLU is not a general legal service provider. It is also not a government agency, such as the public defender, or a legal services office that helps low-income people.

• Reproductive freedom
• Police misconduct
• Censorship in schools or libraries
• Constitutional and educational rights of students
• Fairness in application of school discipline
