Help us raise $250,000 this Giving Tuesday to ensure the fights ahead are fully funded heading into 2025. Donate today and have your gift matched. action.aclu.org/give/make-ma…

Today, we filed an amicus brief on behalf of Willie Manning, a wrongfully convicted black man on death row. Every aspect of Willie's trial was tainted by racial discrimination, injustice, and error. We join @ACLU and @MSNAACP in calling on the MS Supreme Court to prevent this miscarriage of justice.

BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit today on behalf of our client, Andrial Young, against the City of Lexington and Lexington Police Officers, for violating his rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Police misconduct will not be accepted or tolerated. We remain committed to protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of all Mississippians. Read the full complaint at aclu-ms.org/en/cases/andrial….

In just a little over two weeks, we will hold our Annual Wrap-Up, the one ACLU-MS party you cannot afford to miss! See the flyer for details and join us on Dec. 6!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives of our trans sisters and brothers that were lost to senseless violence and hate. We honor their courage to live authentically. We know honoring them is not enough and that is why we must: - Demand fair housing and safety from poverty, violence and criminalization - Support and affirm the trans people in our lives - Work toward liberation with trans led organizations and trans community members

We know how you feel right now. So come out and let's feel it TOGETHER. We know what lies ahead and we are ready! No need to RSVP. Pull up.

For over 50 years, the ACLU of MS has remained committed to defending and protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of Mississippians. We are not new to this. We are true to this, and we are ready for whatever may come our way. #westayready
