ACLU of Nebraska

What ACLU of Nebraska does

ACLU of Nebraska is a state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union operating as a private nonprofit civil liberties organization headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, with governance structured across three entities: ACLU Nebraska, Inc. (the Union), ACLU Nebraska Foundation, Inc., and the ACLU Voter Education Fund. Founded in 1960, the organization works in courts, the state legislature, and communities to defend constitutional rights of Nebraskans across issue areas including voting rights, immigrants' rights, criminal justice reform, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, racial justice, Indigenous justice, and free speech. Its legal team pursues direct representation, impact litigation, and amicus briefs in cases such as Waters v. Ricketts (marriage equality), State ex rel. Spung v. Evnen (voting rights restoration), and multiple federal suits against ICE detention practices in Nebraska.

The organization's product surface centers on a digital platform anchored by aclunebraska.org, the Mobile Justice smartphone application for reporting police misconduct, and a Know Your Rights training program that reaches more than 1,000 Nebraskans annually. Supplementary tools include a petitions and advocacy action platform, an email list mobilization system, a publications library of annual reports and fact sheets, and legal observer volunteer training. Pro bono legal representation is the core service delivered to individuals and vulnerable populations, while content marketing, social media, and earned media serve as the primary channels for supporter acquisition and issue awareness.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through individual member donations, recurring membership dues, and workplace giving campaigns; all legal services are provided free of charge. The organization is staffed at 11-50 employees, led by Executive Director Danielle Conrad and Legal Director Amy Miller, with media relations handled by Tyler Richard. Operating geographies are strictly domestic and limited to Nebraska, and the affiliate coordinates with the National ACLU on shared advocacy priorities, litigation resources, and donor pipelines.
