The ACLU was made for times like this.

The Massachusetts 2024 Election Action Plan offers a blueprint for all people to get involved in the movement to strengthen our democracy in this election cycle — and beyond.

I wonder if we can eat generative AI? Has anyone recommended that yet?

The legislative session has come to a close. Let’s take stock of the session from an ACLU perspective.

There’s a lot to reflect on, but one thing is clear - We will never stop pushing for legislation that embodies the best of what our Commonwealth can be. https://t.co/7ByqfTe2fV

We’re in the last days of the legislative session, and we need your help to make sure the #MassParentage Act gets a Senate vote and is signed into law this year.

Urge your Senator to support the bill today:

Facial recognition technology gives the government unprecedented power to track our every move.

Eight municipalities in Massachusetts have addressed the threat–but everyone deserves protection from this invasive technology.

It’s time to finish the job.

Overdose prevention centers are proven to save lives and increase access to treatment by connecting people with counseling, medical help, and recovery services.

Urge your state lawmakers to support overdose prevention centers in Massachusetts!

💥 BOOM! We just blocked an Ohio law that would have made it harder for voters w/ disabilities to get assistance casting their ballots.

Gratitude to our clients @lwvohio @LWV & the courageous Jennifer Kucera for fighting this fight. And kudos to the terrific legal team @acluohio @ACLU @CovingtonLLP @keenanmegan @userfredly

Police use of facial recognition technology poses unprecedented threats to our privacy and basic freedoms.

Eight municipalities in Massachusetts have already put safeguards around this surveillance. Tell your lawmakers it's time to protect ALL of us: https://t.co/t7T7bLly5m

Project 2025 outlines authoritarian attacks on our institutions, threatening to leave Americans vulnerable to profound harms.

The ACLU is preparing for the dangerous possibility of Trump 2.0 – banning the sale of cellphone location data is critical for MA.https://t.co/cbeYxo83bK

[ACLU Massachusetts @ACLU_Mass]

Protecting digital privacy is key to protecting bodily autonomy and reproductive justice in the digital age.

Thank you Speaker @RonMariano, Chair @RepMichlewitz, and all the Massachusetts lawmakers recognizing the urgency of protecting our sensitive cellphone location data.

In January, my colleagues and I won a case at the MA Supreme Judicial Court taking a DA to task for withholding police misconduct evidence.

Yet, in the Karen Read case, this happened:

[onekade @onekade]

Massachusetts residents concerned about state police corruption in the #karenread case ought to ask their lawmakers to pass facial recognition legislation before the end of session on July 31. https://t.co/YtojLHLzKS

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

The illogic of the Court’s immunity ruling was laid bare in Justice Jackson’s dissent:

“The official-versus-unofficial act distinction seems both arbitrary and irrational, for it suggests that the unofficial criminal acts of a President are the only ones worthy of prosecution. Quite to the contrary, it is when the President commits crimes using his unparalleled official powers that the risks of abuse and autocracy will be most dire.”

[ACLU Massachusetts @ACLU_Mass]

The Supreme Court issued a ruling today in Moyle v. United States. The Court had a chance to hold that pregnant people have the basic right to emergency abortion care, but it decided to punt.

Justice Jackson is right: This decision is not a victory; it is a delay.
