The ACLU of Idaho has maintained a full-time presence in the Idaho legislature since 1990. The ACLU of Idaho works with Idaho legislators and voters to promote and defend civil liberties. Examples of our work include:

• Working with the lesbian, gay, and bi-sexual communities to defeat anti-gay initiatives; and preparing court challenges to anti-gay initiative and other discriminatory measures.
   
• Protecting reproductive freedom by blocking legislation and initiatives limiting choice.
   
• Fighting amendments authorizing government sponsored school prayer and criminalizing the burning of one's own American Flag.

JOIN OUR IDAHO ACTION NETWORK

We will send you periodic (you won't be bombarded, we promise) e-mail updates on our priority issues and action bulletins that you can use to make a difference as an advocate for freedom, from writing your legislator to joining a protest. Join the list by sending an e-mail with your name, address and e-mail address to admin@acluidaho.org.

We need your mailing address to determine which legislative districts you live in. If you do not provide that information, we cannot send you legislator-specific e-mail alerts.
