We will not allow the Trump administration to tear apart our communities.

The ACLU took legal action against Trump’s first administration more than 430 times. We have the playbook to fight back – and we won't back down.

Abortion is safe and legal in Massachusetts.

The Laken Riley Act requires ICE to put people in jail with no due process, based solely on unproven accusations — this violates the Constitution.

This will enrich the private prison industry while wreaking havoc on immigrants and their families.

In the face of federal chaos, we must assert our Massachusetts values and protect our most vulnerable neighbors.

Tell your state lawmakers it is time for Dignity Not Deportations.

Within hours of taking office, Donald Trump made good on his promises to undermine our basic rights and spread fear in our communities.

We must protect vulnerable people from digital surveillance.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed in our Constitution. It is fundamental to the United States, contributing to its economic, cultural, and political strength.

Dr. King asked, "will we descend into chaos or build a beloved community?"

The answer must always be community, and we must do the work of actively building it.

As we prepare for the next four years, I was proud to join @ACLU_Mass to do just that. https://t.co/iBFAzqfoP4

Martin Luther King Jr. left us with a choice: chaos or community?

Advocates stood on the Boston Common to declare: we are choosing community. We will fight against agents of oppression – and fight for the civil rights and civil liberties of all people.

Colleges and universities must resist New McCarthyism.

At a time when free expression, academic freedom and higher education itself are under attack, institutions must protect students and faculty from authoritarianism.

The data includes location information taken from Tinder, Grindr, My Period Tracker and Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook, among thousands of others.
