Support Our Work to Protect Civil Liberties in Hawai‘i

We are excited to feature ACLU National President Deborah Archer for a discussion on racial justice, civil rights, and the inequality of our contemporary justice systems, moderated by William S. Richardson School of Law Constitutional Law Professor Nicholas McLean. ACLU-HI is reshaping a future where Hawai‘i's communities can live abundantly under systems designed to support and protect the people, rather than punish them.

The group is engaged in a series of critical issues impacting the islands.

As the 2026 legislative session approaches, the ACLU of Hawai‘i's Policy Team has selected informed legislative priorities that advocate for those who have had their rights infringed upon by the state and federal government while fighting against democratic backslide into authoritarianism.

Mahalo nui to all our supporters, event contributors, partner organizations, and to the community at-large for celebrating 60 years of the ACLU of Hawai‘i! Our work to protect the civil liberties of all people across the islands would not be possible without your support of our efforts and your partnership in this collective work to advocate for the peoples and communities we care deeply about. Check out our 60th anniversary video below, where we feature some of our board members and staff sharing about the rich legacy and history of our work over six decades:
