GiVE NOLA DAY

ACLU of Louisiana

About this Organization

HOLDING POLICE ACCOUNTABLE: The ACLU-LA launched the Justice Lab-a litigation, policy, and organizing project that holds police accountable for unconstitutional actions against people of color. Our small affiliate has filed 72 cases against police. We've had 98 legal victories, including 39 qualified immunity wins, and we have secured $850,000 in settlement funds for our clients, all of whom would not have had legal representation but for the Justice Lab. PROTECT IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS: Since last GiveNOLA Day, we have presented to thousands of people languishing in immigrant detention facilities about their rights, advocated for their medical needs, and have litigated to get many people released and reunited with their families. END MASS INCARCERATION: Through litigation, advocacy, and public awareness, the ACLU-LA works to combat mass incarceration, advance racial equity, and prioritize people over prisons. VOTING RIGHTS: The ACLU-LA advocates for reforms that have been demonstrated to be extremely effective at making sure that all Americans who want to cast a ballot are able to do so, despite many state politicians' efforts to restrict voting rights through gerrymandering.
