The FDA approved mifepristone for medication abortion 25 years ago today. Since then, millions of people in the U.S. have used it. Over 100 studies confirm its safety. The Trump administration is teeing up new restrictions based on junk science. We won't let them get away with it.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has started detaining people in tents at Fort Bliss, an army base in Texas and New Mexico. This facility is on track to be the nation's largest immigrant detention center holding up to 5,000 people, and will cost an estimated $1.26 billion of taxpayers' money.

BREAKING: In a win for freedom of speech, a suit filed against the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) was dismissed by a federal judge this week. See our full press release on our website: www.acluok.org/en/press-rel...

President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC and takeover of the local police department is baseless and an abuse of power. The people of DC shouldn't be forced to live in occupied, militarized communities.

James Baldwin’s work challenged our nation to live up to its promises of liberty and justice for all. His honest explorations of race, sexuality, and poverty have often landed his works on banned book lists across the country.

We will always fight for the country we want to live in.

If you or your loved ones have been impacted by President Trump’s anti-trans passport policy, we’re here with more information.

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE. We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a budget bill that would kick 12 million people off Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood and supercharge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine. The time to be loud is NOW. Tell your representative: Vote NO.

We have the right to be visible, loud, and proud — during Pride Month and every other month of the year.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect. This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.
