ACLU
U.S. progressive advocacy group (civil liberties litigation nonprofit)
The ACLU is a member-supported nonprofit that litigates and lobbies on civil liberties issues. It is not a news outlet, and its public statements and publications come from an advocacy position that leans left on most current issues. It is currently one of the Trump administration's most active legal opponents, with over 130 active cases in 2026.
Owned byNot owned by a company. It is a nonprofit membership organization made up of two main entities: the ACLU (a 501(c)(4) that lobbies and does political work) and the ACLU Foundation (a 501(c)(3) that litigates and educates). Both are governed by a national board, and state affiliates operate across the country.
