About this organization
Mission
The American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to preserving the civil liberties enshrined in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Through communications, lobbying and litigation, the organization works to preserve and enhance the rights of all people in South Carolina.
About
We litigate when doing so is the most effective way to advance civil liberties concerns. We file lawsuits that will have an impact on people's rights by setting legal precedent or affecting the policies and actions of public officials. We provide direct legal representation to individuals and file amicus (friend-of-the-court) briefs addressing civil liberties issues in cases initiated by others. Our legal work is pro bono - we never charge for our services. We look for complaints that relate to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, government-sponsored religious activities, privacy, discrimination (gender, age, racial, sexual orientation, and gender identity), reproductive rights, systematic police misconduct, censorship in schools or libraries, student rights, workplace privacy, and inhumane jail and prison conditions.
