The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is freedom's watchdog, working daily in the courts, legislatures and communities to defend individual rights and personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The ACLU of Florida was founded in 1965, and we have been working in Florida for over 50 years to protect the civil liberties and civil rights of Floridians.
