Arkansas universities are failing to protect faculty free speech, undermining academic freedom, due process, and their own core values. Read more on our latest blog: www.acluarkansas.org/news/when-un...

The right to birthright citizenship has been affirmed by the Supreme Court for more than a century as settled law. We’re fighting at the highest court in the land to defend a principle that stems from this nation’s founding.

A federal court just ruled the Ten Commandments monument at the Arkansas State Capitol unconstitutional. A win for religious freedom and the basic principle that government must stay neutral. No one should feel like an outsider because of what they believe — or don’t.

Arkansans deserve public safety, not infighting symptomatic of poor governing or a new prison. The board should prioritize investing in proven recidivism prevention solutions, like drug treatment and education programs, and fair parole revocation proceedings. arkansasadvocate.com/2026/02/05/a...

Arkansans are being sent back to prison through unfair parole revocation proceedings — no lawyers, no real hearings, and no chance to defend themselves. This lawsuit is about due process, dignity, and stopping a system that quietly fuels mass incarceration instead of justice.

BREAKING: We've joined a lawsuit defending people peacefully protesting and documenting ICE activity in Minnesota from retaliation by the Trump administration. We have a constitutional right to protest and record law enforcement in public.

In October, the Trump administration bombed a civilian boat, killing Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo as they were traveling home to Trinidad and Tobago. We’re suing the government on behalf of their families to get justice for these murders.

The Senate votes tomorrow on giving ICE a blank check to continue its abusive and unconstitutional actions. ICE already has massive funding — and a long record of abuse. No more taxpayer dollars for cruelty. Tell your Senator: Vote NO. Protect our communities. action.aclu.org/send-message...

BREAKING: We just filed an amicus brief challenging a new Arkansas law that would require all people to verify their ages with a photo ID or biometric data in order to use social media. This law threatens our rights to free speech and privacy.

When the state normalizes fear and militarization, communities lead the resistance. Our latest blog looks at the abuse of power we’re seeing nationwide — and how solidarity, accountability, and collective action push back. www.acluarkansas.org/news/resisti...

Arkansas has a long, painful history of racial injustice. Facing that truth reminds us why Dr. King’s work remains unfinished, and why we must keep fighting for justice, equality, and dignity for all.

Dissent is not a crime. Court decisions should never make free speech a reason for detention or deportation.

We stand with Minneapolis: peaceful assembly, due process, and constitutional rights must be protected, not overridden by fear or force.

No one should live in fear of being stopped, searched, or arrested because of their race or immigrant status. The ACLU of Arkansas stands with Minnesotans fighting racial profiling and unlawful arrests — defending liberty, equality, and the rule of law for everyone.

Punishing a law professor for protected speech is unconstitutional — and it puts every public employee at risk. Our statement: www.acluarkansas.org/press-releas... #arnews

Democracy only works when people can participate. Arkansans have the right to speak out, organize, and petition their government in public spaces — without interference. We’ll always defend the First Amendment and the power of the people. www.acluarkansas.org/press-releas...

Every kid deserves the chance to play sports with their friends. On or off the playing field, we all have the same right to equality and dignity. Our freedom is more than a game. Learn more about our fight for trans student athletes at aclu.org/morethanagame-bpj

No one should work for free. The Pulaski Circuit Court has ruled that the Corrections board, protected from the governor’s whims by the Arkansas Constitution, can hire and pay counsel for lawsuits. Relitigating this is political posturing and poor governing. ow.ly/TXUU50XVLtr

Teenagers celebrating becoming seniors are not criminal suspects, and should never have been treated as such. “This situation should’ve never happened, let’s be clear. LRPD should’ve initially issued the students a warning,” Little Rock Freedom Fund-LRFF founder Dawn Jeffrey said.

Courts keep blocking Arkansas’ unconstitutional internet laws — for good reason. Forced age or ID checks to access speech online violate the First Amendment. Kids deserve real protections, not censorship and privacy invasions. #arnews

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Trans youth like Becky Pepper-Jackson deserve the right to participate in school sports without facing discrimination. Tuesday, we'll be at the Supreme Court defending Becky and other trans kids' right to play.

Renee Nicole Good wasn't the first person killed by ICE — but she must be the last.

Artists at the Golden Globes last night added their voices to the chorus of people across the country demanding that ICE get out of our communities immediately. When we all band together, we can make real change.

No more lives should be needlessly lost at the hands of police.
