Descriptiontext

ACLU of Louisiana is a nonprofit state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, founded in 1956 in New Orleans and operating as a 501(c)(4) civil liberties organization with 11-50 employees. It is structured as two affiliated entities — the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana (Union) and the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Louisiana (Foundation) — both engaged in defending constitutional rights under the U.S. Constitution. The organization works in coalition with other ACLU state affiliates and shares donor/member data with the national ACLU infrastructure.

The organization's core services include legal representation and litigation, Know Your Rights educational resources, the Immigrant Rights Project (which partners with private counsel, law firms, and law school clinics to deliver pro bono parole assistance, habeas petitions, and Civil Rights complaints), the Smart Justice Campaign targeting mass incarceration, and advocacy and community organizing across voting rights, religious liberty, free speech, criminal justice reform, privacy, and immigrants' rights. Its distribution is digital-first through laaclu.org, email communications, social media, petitions, and press releases reaching Louisiana residents and national media.

ACLU of Louisiana is funded primarily through individual donations, membership fees, and fundraising campaigns processed via its website, with all services and resources provided free of charge to the public. Its technology stack is a standard digital organizing platform — website, email, and online action tools — without proprietary technical differentiation. The organization's competitive positioning rests on the ACLU brand, a coalition network that includes NAACP, League of Women Voters of Louisiana, Southern Poverty Law Center, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Freedom From Religion Foundation, and pro bono law firm partners such as Dentons U.S. LLP.

Quiver QuantitativePress Release: Andrea Salinas Comments on ICE Detention of Newberg Resident | Stock NewsRep. Andrea Salinas criticized ICE's detention of Newberg resident Juan Miguel Aldape-Palacios, who was transferred from Tacoma to Louisiana, making family and legal access harder. Her office is working with Unidos, ACLU Louisiana, and Louisiana lawmakers to connect him with legal support and will seek more ICE transparency and due process protections.AxiosCalvin Duncan takes office then steps back after court whiplashCalvin Duncan's clerk status in Orleans Parish Criminal Court is in flux after dueling court rulings. The 5th Circuit ruled in the state's favor, but the ACLU of Louisiana will challenge the ruling, potentially to the U.S. Supreme Court. The group argues the ruling came too late and that forcing Duncan from office would violate the law.The New York TimesVoters Sue Over Louisiana Governor’s Move to Delay PrimaryLouisiana Governor Jeff Landry suspended the state's House primary election, originally scheduled for May 16, to allow the Legislature time to draw new congressional districts after the Supreme Court ruled the existing map unconstitutional as an illegal racial gerrymander. Voting rights groups, including the ACLU, NAACP, and League of Women Voters of Louisiana, filed multiple lawsuits arguing the governor overstepped his executive powers and that the Supreme Court ruling does not legally qualify as an emergency under Louisiana law. Early in-person voting was set to begin the day after the lawsuits were filed, raising concerns about voter confusion, suppressed turnout, and the disenfranchisement of voters who have already cast absentee ballots.The Times of IndiaMaharashtra: Suspected Class 12 Chemistry paper leak being investigated by Nagpur copsA federal appeals court voted 12–6 to allow Louisiana to require the Ten Commandments displayed in public school classrooms, lifting a block that had prevented the 2024 law from taking effect. The court said it is too early to decide constitutional questions, noting that details about implementation remain unknown and factual information about how schools will display the posters is still lacking. Civil rights groups including the ACLU of Louisiana and the Freedom From Religion Foundation have sharply criticized the decision and indicated they will continue exploring legal options, with legal experts suggesting the case could eventually reach the Supreme Court.Business InsiderA basic income program helped me get back on my feet. Now I am an activist in my community and can afford to give back.Hope Davis, a widow and chef, received $1,000 monthly for a year from the ACLU of Louisiana's guaranteed basic income program, which provides reparations for those affected by racist policing. The payments helped her pay bills and enabled her to lead community activism, including tenant organization and food gardening.PR NewswireREID COLLINS & TSAI LLP TRIAL TEAM OBTAINS JURY VERDICT IN LOUISIANA FEDERAL COURT IN CIVIL RIGHTS CASE RELATED TO POLICING INCIDENTA federal jury in the Eastern District of Louisiana awarded $185,000 to De'Shaun Johnson for intentional infliction of emotional distress caused by St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Deputy Ryan Moring, who threatened the then-14-year-old with a Taser as he tried to record his mother's violent arrest in May 2020. The case was prosecuted pro bono by Reid Collins & Tsai LLP in partnership with the ACLU of Louisiana's Justice Lab initiative. This verdict marks the first jury trial-to-verdict victory for the ACLU of Louisiana's Justice Lab, which aims to challenge racially discriminatory policing practices.PR NewswireREID COLLINS DEFEATS SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION IN LOUISIANA FEDERAL COURT, MOVING PRO BONO DISCRIMINATORY POLICING CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT CLOSER TO TRIALA federal judge in Louisiana denied summary judgment for two St. Tammany Parish deputies accused of violently arresting Teliah Perkins at her own home in May 2020 for a traffic violation she did not commit, allowing her civil rights lawsuit alleging excessive force and First Amendment retaliation to proceed to trial. The ruling rejected the deputies' qualified immunity defense, finding evidence of clearly established constitutional violations including the right to be free from unreasonable force during a minor traffic arrest and a child's right to peacefully record police. Reid Collins & Tsai LLP is representing Perkins pro bono in partnership with the ACLU of Louisiana's Justice Lab initiative.
