About us

The American Civil Liberties Union is organized into individual chapters, each covering a specific geographical area. There are chapters in 16 communities around the State, including the Broward County Chapter. The chapters in turn are part of the statewide organization, the ACLU of Florida, which in turn is part of the National ACLU based in New York. Each chapter is run by a Board of Directors, elected by the members of that chapter.

The Broward Chapter is a broad-based community of people from many trades and walks of life including homemakers, business persons, lawyers, students, educators, health care workers, and all who love liberty and the guarantee of liberty in the U.S. Constitution. The leadership of the Broward Chapter is a Board consisting of members and officers elected from the membership, by the membership. The active Broward Chapter welcomes the gifts of members who contribute their time to serve on committees, attend special events, and speak to legislators, schools, and community groups. Anyone interested in helping should contact the Broward Chapter at 954-753-ACLU (2258).
