Together with directly impacted communities and other partners across Maryland, we WILL defend our democracy and each other.

We aren’t just trying to stem a backward slide of our rights. We are showing up for a vision of something greater: A Maryland where we can exercise our rights so that the law values and uplifts our humanity.

We must keep in mind that we have never seen true democracy or full access to rights for all. These ideas remain elusive, both in Maryland and across America. But we must imagine it, and then work to realize our vision. We won’t back down, we won’t give up, and we won't be silent.

In 2021, the ACLU of Maryland is celebrating a special birthday. It’s our 90th year protecting civil liberties and civil rights, and advancing racial justice.
