Criminal Justice Reform
Imprisonment is a brutal and costly response to crime that traumatizes incarcerated people and hurts families and communities.
LGBTQ+ Rights
The ACLU of Arizona is dedicated to protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in our state.
Immigrants' Rights
Although it has been seven years since SB 1070 was passed by the Legislature and Joe Arpaio no longer serves as Maricopa County Sheriff, Arizonans continue to experience discrimination, hostility, and civil rights violations due to perceived immigration status.
Reproductive Freedom
Pregnancy-related decisions are deeply personal, private decisions best left to the pregnant person, their family, and their doctor. Yet some politicians use their power to actively interfere.
Voting Rights
Arizona has long been a hotbed for voter suppression and election interference, with hundreds of anti-democracy bills filed in the state legislature year after year. For many years, the ACLU of Arizona has been actively combating these threats through advocacy, coalition work, and litigation.
Free Speech
The fight for freedom of speech has been a bedrock of the ACLU’s mission since the organization was founded in 1920.
