American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi
About Us
The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi (ACLU-MS), incorporated on June 16, 1969, was born out of the will of individuals associated with two religious groups, Delta Ministries and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Jackson. This affiliate of the national ACLU began on the tail end of the Civil Rights Movement, during the anti-war and women's rights movements.
The ACLU of Mississippi is dedicated to promoting, defending, and extending civil rights and civil liberties to all Mississippians with emphasis on issues related to criminal justice reform, education opportunities, equal access/equality for all, voting rights, and governmental transparency and accountability. We accomplish our mission through legislation, litigation and advocacy.
