The ACLU of Missouri is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to protecting civil liberties within Missouri. As an affiliate of the national American Civil Liberties Union, it operates from offices in Kansas City and St. Louis and pursues civil-rights work through litigation and advocacy. The organization has been involved in cases such as a 2023 lawsuit against Platte County School District over transgender student access to bathroom facilities, and a 2022 suit challenging denial of life-saving medication to an incarcerated individual. In May 2025, ACLU of Missouri joined national and state affiliates in Washington, D.C., for Community Safety Week to advocate for proven safety solutions. Its activities include voter education and mobilization, as well as litigation and policy advocacy conducted within the broader ACLU network. The organization is based in Missouri and fits within the nonprofit sector as a small-to-mid-sized operation serving residents from its Kansas City and St. Louis offices.
