Raising Public Awareness

How to Take Action

Become a Member!

Your rights to privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal treatment by the government, and more are guaranteed by the Idaho and United States Constitutions. But that doesn't mean that they're always safe. The American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho educates, lobbies, and litigates to defend and promote the freedoms Americans enjoy. Membership is the first step to becoming more involved in protecting civil liberties.

Volunteer!

Because the ACLU is a non-profit organization with limited resources, we rely on volunteers to help in every aspect of our work. The ACLU of Idaho is always looking for volunteers to help with research, as cooperating attorneys, complaint counselors, general office workers, community watchdogs and countless other jobs.

Some volunteers make a regular weekly commitment to volunteer, others help out at periodic events or public education programs. If you've got some time, complete our Volunteer Inquiry Form and we will be in touch with you.

Join Our Electronic Activist 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.

The ACLU Needs You

It takes a lot of time and resources to do all this work-as well as dedicated volunteers, attorneys, and activists. That's why the ACLU needs you.

In each generation, people of conscience step forward to ensure that liberty survives. We hope you are one of those people - and that you'll join with others like yourself as a proud member of the ACLU.
