Protecting civil liberties in Arkansas since 1969.
When officials sent Gregory Holt (Abdul Maalik Muhammad) 1,000 miles away in retaliation for his civil rights work, we sued — and after a two-day trial, the state agreed to bring him home.

The message is clear: incarcerated people still have constitutional rights.

This case is a reminder: when we defend one person’s voice, we protect everyone’s freedom to speak, organize, and seek justice.

President Trump is escalating his abuses of power — deploying the National Guard, silencing dissent, and targeting communities of color. This isn’t normal, and we’re not powerless.

Arkansas' law requiring the Ten Commandments in public schools is unconstitutional — and a federal court agrees.

The court upheld every student’s right to learn free from government-imposed religion — this is a victory for Arkansas families and for the First Amendment.

BREAKING: We’re suing the state of Arkansas over laws that silence voters and sabotage citizen-led ballot initiatives. These attacks on direct democracy violate the First Amendment.

We’re taking this fight to court — because in Arkansas, the people rule.

The war on drugs has never been about safety — it’s been about control, criminalization, and mass incarceration.

It’s time to end a failed policy that has devastated communities, fueled racial injustice, and cost lives.

SB354 is back from the dead — again.

This harmful bill has failed five times already, and for good reason: the public doesn’t support it.

Contact #arleg senators today and tell them: HOLD THE LINE. Say NO to SB354.

If you're out protesting this weekend, it's important that you #KnowYourRights.

🚨 #arleg ALERT:

HB1422:
❌ Strips ALL non-citizens of REAL ID, blocking travel & federal building access
❌ Hurts our $16B ag industry by complicating work for immigrant employees
❌ Suppresses voters — removes valid IDs & creates new barriers

Speak out NOW — tell your rep to reject this bill!
