The ACLU of Pennsylvania works year-round in Harrisburg to support legislation that expands or protects our civil liberties and fights against bills that infringe on our freedoms.
One of the few nonprofits with a full-time lobbyist, the ACLU of Pennsylvania tracks hundreds of bills each session. However, elected officials are most interested in hearing from you—their constituents.
