The Supreme Court has declined to hear Kim Davis’ challenge to the constitutional protections for marriage equality.

The right to marry is a fundamental right for same-sex couples and must be protected by both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Minnesota lawmakers passed Senate File 8. This harmful bill could devastate undocumented Minnesotans by taking away their healthcare via MinnesotaCare. Attacks on immigrants will only continue and worsen; the moment to act is now.

Tell Governor Walz to veto the bill by calling (651)-201-3400.

ACLU of Minnesota Responds to DOJ’s Withdrawal from Consent Decree Agreement with MPD
The consent decree was created in response to decades of racially biased, excessively violent policing in Minneapolis and was catalyzed by the murder of George Floyd.

Hunter, like every trans person, has a right to accurate identification.

We've taken Trump to court to block this policy barring trans people from passports with our correct gender markers.

The Trump administration is aiming to accelerate unregulated AI across federal agencies.

Without critical guardrails, the administration's actions will translate directly into real-world harms.

Cisgender people are able to access gender-affirming care under the age of 19. Transgender people should be allowed the same access to gender-affirming care.

A federal court temporarily blocking the President's executive order restricting access is a win for the bodily autonomy of all Americans.

We applaud Attorney General Keith Ellison for taking action in a memo: "Minnesota law prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from holding someone based on an immigration detainer if the person would otherwise be released from custody."

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has protected workers from on-the-job bias for 60 years as an independent, nonpartisan agency. No president in its history has ever fired a commissioner mid-term — until now.

Trump’s actions violate the law and threaten workers’ rights.

BREAKING: President Trump just signed into law the Laken Riley Act, which will require immigrants to be detained with no due process based on an accusation of a non-violent crime.

This is a dangerous bill that violates our Constitutional rights.
