ACLU Commits Record $25M to Influence Key 2024 Elections

The civil liberties group targets down-ballot races and ballot measures to advance abortion rights and voter education.

The ACLU's $25 million investment is its largest ever for an election cycle, surpassing the previous $16 million in 2020.
Funds will support U.S. Senate and state Supreme Court races, as well as state legislative contests in multiple states.
The initiative includes backing for ballot measures to enshrine abortion rights in eight states and redistricting reform in Ohio.
The ACLU aims to educate voters on candidates' positions on civil rights issues without endorsing specific candidates.
Efforts will also focus on organizing volunteers to counteract hostile poll monitoring and boost voter turnout.
