In September 2015, we worked with lawmakers and a coalition of organizations to pass an LGBTQ-inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance that ensures fair and equal treatment for everyone in our community, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
Alaska's largest LGBTQ Pride events, the Equality Parade and Pride Festival, are coming up soon! With over 130 vendors, a beer garden, performances, raffles, and thousands of participants, these are two of the most anticipated events of the summer.
Fair Anchorage, a coalition of local, state, and regional organizations working to defeat 2017-2, needs your help.
Several Anchorage musicians are generously hosting a benefit for Planned Parenthood and the ACLU on Friday, April 14th! All proceeds from the event will be evenly split between the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, one of our partners in the fight for freedom.
During the height of World War II, the ACLU represented Japanese-American Gordon Hirabayashi after he refused to report to an internment camp in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court.
When Gordon Hirabayashi was a young man in 1943, Japanese-Americans were perceived as a threat based on their racial heritage and were forcibly required to move into internment camps.
