This law is a blank check for law enforcement to criminalize the behavior of any Granite Stater, for any reason, and puts New Hampshire’s marginalized communities at risk of being harassed or arbitrarily punished. We are ready to fight this law until it’s tossed out for good.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit to combat an unconstitutional New Hampshire loitering law that makes innocent behaviors illegal—like standing, walking, resting, or congregating in public—based on the mere hunch of a police officer.

BREAKING: President Trump is again asking the Supreme Court to let him end birthright citizenship. The administration can't dodge the fact this executive order is illegal. We'll keep fighting to ensure no child's citizenship is stripped away by this cruel and unconstitutional order.

Our communities must not be weaponized to harm our immigrant friends, neighbors, and fellow Granite Staters. Our state must continue to resist and speak out against being used to fuel and catalyze the Trump administration’s deportation machine. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

The solution to speech you disagree with is more speech, not censorship.

NEW: We filed a class action lawsuit, alongside the @aclum.bsky.social and @aclumaine.bsky.social , to stop ICE's practice of denying due process rights to immigrants and keeping them behind bars for an unconstitutional amount of time.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Plymouth Pride, the first community Pride event for the Plymouth area, on Saturday, Oct. 4th from 12-4 P.M. Tap the link to learn more and come celebrate community and joy with us. We hope to see you there! www.mobilize.us/aclunh/event...

A federal judge has extended a temporary restraining order in our case against New Hampshire’s new anti-diversity, anti-equity, and anti-inclusion law until October 2, 2025. #nhpolitics www.unionleader.com/news/courts/...

President Trump has deployed thousands of military troops to American cities – and is threatening to do it again – in an egregious abuse of power.

Yesterday, a federal judge granted temporary relief in our case challenging New Hampshire’s new anti-diversity, anti-equity, and anti-inclusion law stating that the law would would have “crippling penalties facing schools for even ‘unknowing’ noncompliance.” https://bit.ly/3JUHFnD

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked a New Hampshire law that attacks diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in public schools, colleges and universities, and more.

This law doesn’t just harm our state’s most vulnerable communities, it also suppresses our ideas and free speech, and gives educators the impossible task of navigating the policy’s ambiguity. We won’t stop our fight until this law is defeated for good. https://bit.ly/4mPJ3GA

Transgender youth and their families should not have to uproot their homes, lives, and communities in New Hampshire, but with new laws in place that will cause harm, some are. https://www.concordmonitor.com/2025/08/21/pembroke-family-leaves-new-hampshire-to-protect-trans-teens-future/

We’re in court today alongside a broad coalition of educators and advocates to fight against a new New Hampshire law that unconstitutionally attacks diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in K-12 public schools, public and private colleges and universities, and public entities.

When marriage equality was won by the ACLU at the Supreme Court in 2015, it was the culmination of decades of advocacy from the LGBTQ+ community.

President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to DC endangers our communities and our foundational democratic principles. Tell Congress to stop President Trump’s exploitation of the military NOW at the link below. action.aclu.org/send-message...

BREAKING: We, alongside a broad coalition, are suing the New Hampshire government against a new law that unconstitutionally attacks diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in K-12 public schools, public and private colleges and universities, and public entities.

Laws that make it a crime to be homeless waste money, make communities less safe, and make it harder to solve homelessness. Instead of passing counterproductive laws, New Hampshire lawmakers must instead focus their energy on ensuring that everybody has a safe place to call home.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear of masked, unidentifiable agents on our streets. Tell Congress to pass the VISIBLE Act at the link below. action.aclu.org/send-message...

BREAKING: Governor Ayotte, despite the warning of medical organizations and civil rights activists, just signed two bills that will ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth in New Hampshire. #nhpolitics

We’re in court today continuing our fight against the executive order attacking birthright citizenship. We’ve said it once and we’ll say again — if you are born on U.S. soil you are an American citizen, period.

The Constitution makes it abundantly clear — if you are born here you are a citizen here, full stop.

New Hampshire should not be used as a layover for immigrants to be secretly flown to other detention centers across the U.S. This is a cruel and gross expansion of the Trump administration’s deportation machine. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

UPDATE: HB 377 and HB 712, two bills that could restrict gender-affirming care for trans youth in the Granite State, are now on Governor Ayotte’s desk. #nhpolitics action.aclu.org/send-message...

Last week HB 148, a bill that would have rolled back years of bipartisan anti-discrimination protections for transgender and gender nonconforming Granite Staters, was defeated. No matter what, we will never stop fighting for transgender Granite Staters.

Last week, thanks to thousands of Granite Staters who showed up, spoke out, and sent messages to NH lawmakers, HB 324, the book ban bill, was vetoed by Governor Ayotte. #nhpolitics

TAKE ACTION: Everyone should have the right to make their own personal, private health care decisions with their families and providers. But right now two bills, HB 377 and HB 712, could strip trans youth and their families of that right. #nhpolitics

ICYMI: Last week, a federal judge blocked President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship and certified a nationwide class, protecting the citizenship rights of all children born on U.S. soil. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

New Hampshire communities deserve law enforcement officials that look out for the interests of the community they serve, not the Trump administration. #nhpolitics www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/p...

VICTORY: Governor Ayotte just vetoed a bill that would have rolled back critical protections for transgender and gender nonconforming Granite Staters in our state’s anti-discrimination laws. This affirms what we know to be true: hate has no place in the Granite State. #nhpolitics

VICTORY: Governor Ayotte just vetoed a bill that would have created avenues to ban books in New Hampshire schools. Freedom of expression includes being able to read whatever we want, whenever we want, full stop. #nhpolitics

URGENT ACTION: As soon as this week Governor Ayotte could sign HB 324, the book ban bill, into law. Book bans are archaic, deeply unpopular in the Granite State and nationwide, and do nothing but censor our freedom of expression and access to diverse perspectives. #nhpolitics

BREAKING: A federal court blocked President Trump’s order restricting birthright citizenship and certified a nationwide class, protecting the citizenship rights of all children born on U.S. soil.

The right to free expression includes the freedom to say, think, read, and write whatever we want. However, bills like HB 324, could create an avenue for classroom censorship, have a chilling effect for educators, and impede on students’ right to an education free from censorship. #nhpolitics

If you or your loved ones have been impacted by President Trump's anti-trans passport policy, we're here with more information. The State Department has finally issued guidance for how individuals can proceed after a federal judge blocked the policy from taking effect in June. bit.ly/40Fb8rb

Book bans are archaic, unpopular, and have no place in the Granite State. Tap the link below to tell Governor Ayotte to veto HB 324, the book ban bill, as it soon as it reaches her desk. #nhpolitics action.aclu.org/send-message...

UPDATE: HB 377 and HB 712, two bills that would ban health care options for transgender youth in the Granite State, are on their way to Governor Ayotte’s office, where they could be signed or vetoed by her soon. #nhpolitics www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

HB 324, the book ban bill, is officially on its way to Governor Ayotte's desk. If signed into law, HB 324 could create a chilling effect for educators and make it easier to ban books in classrooms, libraries, and schools across our state. #nhpolitics

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not. www.aclu-nh.org/press-releas...

VICTORY: SB 14, a mandatory minimum bill that would have made arbitrary and long one-size-fits-all sentences the law of the land, has been defeated. #nhpolitics

BREAKING: HB 377, a bill that could ban health care options for transgender youth in the Granite State, just passed out of both chambers at the State House. The bill will soon go to Governor Ayotte. #nhpolitics

This morning, we gathered outside Governor Ayotte’s office for our read-in to protest HB 324, the book ban bill. If passed, HB 324 could create a chilling effect for educators across NH and make it easier to ban books in classrooms and school libraries across our state. #nhpolitics

Speaking up to protect our immigrant friends, neighbors, and family makes our communities safer, not expanding ICE and the Trump administration's deportation machine.

Grab your favorite banned book (or pick one up from us!) and join us for a Read-In to Keep Book Bans Out—right outside Governor Kelly Ayotte’s office this Thursday, June 26th at 9:00 am. Help protect our freedom to read and urge the Governor to veto HB 324 when it reaches her desk soon. #nhpolitics

TAKE ACTION: Soon, two bills that could ban certain types of gender-affirming care for trans youth will be heading to Gov. Ayotte’s desk. We cannot allow the government to interfere with personal health care decisions that should rightfully be made by patients, parents, and providers. #nhpolitics

After the Civil War officially ended, historians tell us Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to tell more than 250,000 enslaved people that they were free.

NH's proposed bans on diversity, equity, and inclusion could severely harm disabled people across our state - and our disabled community deserves much better. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

This morning, the Supreme Court ruled against trans rights. RSVP now at the link below and join us to send a message to NH lawmakers: We support trans youth. www.mobilize.us/aclunh/event...

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.
