The ACLU of the District of Columbia is a regional nonprofit organization focused on protecting and expanding civil liberties and civil rights in Washington, D.C., for residents, workers, and visitors, as well as federal employees and agencies. The organization pursues its mission through legal action, legislative advocacy, and public education, and it occasionally collaborates with government agencies to defend liberty without litigation. Its activities include representing clients in court, testifying before the D.C. Council, and conducting Know Your Rights trainings, along with media engagement and community outreach. With a base in Washington, D.C., the group serves a local constituency of more than 20,000 members and operates within the broader context of civil rights advocacy and constitutional law. A recent development noted is the launch of a new podcast on civil rights and liberties in Washington, D.C., in May 2026.
