From your local school board all the way to the White House, it’s important today’s decision-makers hear from you. The ACLU of Texas works in the courts, in the legislature and in the court of public opinion to help preserve basic liberties for all in our state and in the country. But none of this work is possible without your help. Please take a moment to let you voice be heard. Because freedom can’t protect itself!
We rely on people like you to be our eyes and ears on the ground. Real, lasting change can only happen when we stand up for our civil liberties, one person, one community at a time. Our Community Action Network gives you six ways to get involved. Join Your Community Action Network »
Texas is #1 in the nation for executions. Nationally, there are 138 instances where innocent people have been released from death row because of innocence. That makes us wonder how many were put to death before they could be vindicated. Tell your legislators that you are against the death penalty in Texas » The ACLU of Texas is gravely concerned about the failure of Texas’ public schools to protect children from bullying. Through conversations with affected youth, we have learned that some districts have condoned bullying. Please help us bring accountability to Texas’ public schools.
Join national faith-based organizations, children’s advocacy groups, and civil and human rights advocates as we call for ICE to end detention of children and families in jail-like settings. There are better alternatives for immigrant families.
Too much solitary confinement costs taxpayers and makes prisoners more likely to re-offend. Tell the Sunset Advisory Commission Chair about wasted dollars and the dangers of overusing solitary confinement in Texas prisons.
“One study says as much as $76 million could be saved in health care and security costs over two years if an estimated backlog of 1,000 terminally ill or infirm inmates were released.” |
