The ACLU of Louisiana is a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana, that operates as part of a national network focused on protecting civil liberties across the United States and its territories. Founded in 1956, it works to advance and preserve individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by both U.S. and Louisiana law, addressing a range of constitutional protections through legal advocacy and related activities. With a mission centered on civil rights, the organization engages volunteers and legal professionals to represent affected individuals, including detainees, in seeking remedies such as habeas corpus relief, and has initiated programs aimed at expanding access to justice, such as a recent immigration-focused legal initiative. The group serves communities within its jurisdiction and collaborates with broader affiliates to address issues related to policing, immigrant rights, and other civil liberties concerns.
