ACLU of Michigan is the state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, focused on defending civil liberties within Michigan and connected to a national network that maintains a legislative presence in Washington, DC. The Michigan chapter was officially established in 1959, part of the broader ACLU's longstanding history dating to 1920. Based in Detroit, it serves a community of thousands of members and supporters who participate in civil rights work. It conducts efforts to defend civil liberties and advance rights across Michigan. Notable recent developments include the 2022 launch of Mobile Justice MI, a mobile app that enables users to document police encounters and report them to the ACLU of Michigan. In 2026, it partnered with the Arab American Civil Rights League on an initiative aimed at defending freedoms when they are challenged by authorities.
