ACLU

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was established to protect the nation's liberty; to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States has guaranteed for each person.

They fight for cases such as national security, technology and liberty. LGBT rights, racial justice and many more issues.

It is important for everyone involved in the media to be aware of the happenings of the government. The government determines what we as US citizens will be able to do in the future. I think that whether we decide to become writers for fashion, sports or breaking news articles, the government will always play a part in what we as people of the United States would call news.

This Union wants to make the country aware about the ways the United States has attempted to take away from our liberties. So it is our goal as members of the media to help spread the word through our writing, advertising and broadcasting that we need to act toward the government or just be informed.

Media practitioners can find cases that are happening near them through ACLU. They have a drop down box that lists every state for anyone who is interested in local issues of civil liberty.

Overall ACLU is an important way to recognize and reveal certain cases dealing with the Bill of Rights in today's society.
