American Civil Liberties Union of Utah (ACLU)

The ACLU of Utah, an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, seeks to promote and defend civil liberties principles through legal, legislative and public education programs.

Description:
Like the national ACLU, the ACLU of Utah's work is based on those principles outlined in the Bill of Rights, and our priorities include freedom of speech, expression, and association; freedom of religion, including the separation of church and state; the right to privacy; safe prison and jail conditions; and equal protection and due process of our laws.

History:
The ACLU of Utah is the Utah affiliate of the national ACLU. Chartered in 1958 and located in Salt Lake City, the ACLU of Utah operates with the help of a dedicated staff of two full-time and four part-time employees. Through public education, legal advocacy, litigation, and lobbying at both the state and local levels, the ACLU of Utah seeks to protect the constitutional rights of all Utahns.
