Since our founding in 1920, the nonprofit, nonpartisan ACLU has grown to over 300,000 civil liberties activists across the country. With nearly 7,000 members and several local chapters throughout the state, the ACLU of Ohio defends the Bill of Rights for everyone. Most of our clients are ordinary people who have experienced injustice and have decided to fight back. Turning to the ACLU, these people seek help in vindicating their rights and the rights of others. Without the ACLU, which charges no fees for its services, these violations would often go unchallenged and society would be less free.
Speakers are available from the office in Cleveland for the entire state.
