President-elect Donald Trump has already shown that he is a threat to our fundamental rights and freedoms.
Project 2025 is a roadmap for limiting our freedoms at the individual level. Regardless of his attempts to distance himself from this draconian agenda, we believe Trump when he says he will attempt to deport millions of immigrants, continue his assault on reproductive rights, prosecute political protesters, and deploy the military to get his way.
States and cities must now build firewalls for freedom: barriers to ensure our state and local officials do not assist anti-democratic forces in attacking our civil liberties and civil rights. And in states like Minnesota — where the political landscape affords us some of the greatest opportunities — the ACLU has already developed state and local policy actions to protect people’s safety, health, and fundamental rights.
We have the playbook to fight back — and we, the people, are ready to defend our fundamental freedoms.
The ACLU of Minnesota is calling for Minnesota government leaders to act now to strengthen protections against attempted civil liberties violations within the state.
FIREWALL FOR FREEDOM TOWN HALL
Join us from 2:30 - 4 p.m. on Monday, November 25, to hear from ACLU-MN leadership and community partners about how we are going to build a firewall to protect immigrant rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, abortion access, free speech, privacy, and more.
The ACLU-MN couldn't create the Firewall for Freedom without donations and support from passionate individuals like you.
