Why The Work Of The ACLU And NAACP Is So Important…

America’s tor­tured, racist past cre­at­ed orga­ni­za­tions like the National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People(NAACP). The(CLU) was found­ed on February 12th, 1909, in New York City, while the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) came 11-years lat­er, on January 19th, 1920, found­ed in 1920, again in New York City.
A good barom­e­ter of their suc­cess is the lev­el of attacks against these orga­ni­za­tions, even as it is rather reveal­ing to see the par­ties that attack these organizations.
The New York City Police Department(NYPD) and some of its syco­phants have made them­selves bit­ter adver­saries to the ACLU) for decades now.

ACLU
Since the nation’s found­ing, the fab­ric of American soci­ety has been woven with deeply racist poli­cies, prac­tices, and atti­tudes that harm Black and Indigenous peo­ple of col­or. These poli­cies have led to an unequal sys­tem where white peo­ple have both implic­it and explic­it advan­tages because of the col­or of their skin, lead­ing to bet­ter oppor­tu­ni­ties in jobs, edu­ca­tion, and hous­ing.

Please view the video to see why the work of these orga­ni­za­tions is crit­i­cal from now on.

To make our vision a real­i­ty, we will: Ensure the polit­i­cal, edu­ca­tion­al, social, and eco­nom­ic equal­i­ty of all cit­i­zens. Achieve equal­i­ty of rights and elim­i­nate race prej­u­dice among the cit­i­zens of the United States. Remove all bar­ri­ers of racial dis­crim­i­na­tion through demo­c­ra­t­ic processes.
