The incoming administration has made it clear that it shall be attacking any media group or individuals it perceives are to hostile to its activities. It is imperative that the First Amendment be preserved and protected. Now that money is speech, the plutocrats have a great advantage when it comes to silencing those who do not agree with them. The ACLU is one of the most powerful organizations we have that protects free speech. PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.
The American Civil Liberties Union has media staff available to handle inquiries from journalists on national issues affecting civil liberties, including questions on legislative matters that touch on civil liberties and constitutional freedoms and inquiries related to ACLU lawsuits.
