We work to reduce the number Texans who are incarcerated and shrink the footprint of the criminal legal system by seeking reforms in policing, reducing the number of Texans held in pre-trial detention, and seeking changes to overly harsh sentencing that have overcrowded our state's prisons. 308429 1813 Voting Rights The ACLU of Texas is fighting back against politicians in Texas who continue to engage in voter suppression efforts that seek to disenfranchise communities of color and include additional obstacles to registration, cutbacks on early voting, and strict voter identification requirements. We also advocate for policies that make it easier for Texans to vote such as the expansion of same-day and online voter registration and provide resources to empower eligible Texans to make their voices heard in our democracy. 251016 3320 Immigrant Rights The ACLU of Texas defends immigrants' rights and border communities, which have been historically and are currently being profiled, harassed, detained, and demonized by extremist politicians and the militarized law enforcement agencies they control.

The ACLU of Texas works to advance policies in city council chambers and at the state legislature that will expand LGBTQIA+ equality including protections for those facing workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, healthcare discrimination, bullying, and violence because of their identity.
