In 2018, the ACLU of Kansas saw more bills we support passed and signed into law than ever before – but it wasn’t easy.
In fact, it was a fight.
Extremists in the legislature have continued to snarl, emboldened by the Trump administration’s unprecedented anti-civil liberties agenda. They introduced a slew of bills targeting women, immigrants, the LGBT community, civil liberties, and the right to vote. They won’t stop.
And neither should you.
Sign up here to learn more or to volunteer on primary election day (August 7) for our Election Protection project, a nonpartisan effort led by the ACLU of Kansas and Stinson Leonard Street, LLC.
Election Protection volunteers will serve as poll observers who offer on-site assistance and act as a conduit to our voter hotlines at polling places in targeted areas.
