ACLU of Iowa

Iowa banned more than 3,600 books last year—second only to Florida. Our kids deserve to read and learn free from censorship.

We will always ensure that Iowa children are educated and supported, not excluded or pushed into the school-to-prison pipeline.

We will always fight for freedom of and from religion—and make sure the government does not endorse any particular religion.

We will always strive to create an Iowa where systemic racism is dismantled and the harm inflicted on communities of color is repaired.

BREAKING: The House just rejected a bill that could have given the Trump administration the power to crush dissent and go after political enemies. This is a victory for all our right to speak truth to power.

Help us recognize a young Iowan who fights injustice. Nominations are due this Sunday, Nov. 17! aclu-ia.org/en/awards/mann…

Public schools are not Sunday schools.

We will always protect the ability of Iowans to hold elected officials accountable and uncover government misconduct or corruption.

We will always work to ensure that our state's prisons and jails comply with the Constitution, domestic law, and human rights principles.

We will always fight for an immigration process based on liberty, justice, and due process for all—including undocumented Iowans.

Help us recognize the next generation's civil liberties leaders with a $500 prize! Nominations are due on Sunday, Nov. 17. aclu-ia.org/en/awards/mann…

We will always work to ensure that LGBTQ people can live openly without discrimination and fully exercise our rights under the U.S. and Iowa Constitutions.

We will always defend everyone's right to free speech and expression.

Reminder: Due process and equal protection in our Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to everyone, regardless of immigration status.

For 89 years and counting, the ACLU of Iowa has fought for the rights of all Iowans in court, at the statehouse, and in the streets. We won't stop now.

We will always work to secure women's rights in Iowa and challenge the systems that perpetuate gender discrimination and inequality.

The ACLU is ready to take action the minute Donald Trump takes oath of office. We have never been more prepared for the fight ahead. aclu.org/news/civil-lib…
