ACLU of Delaware
@aclude
We work in the ⚖️ Courts | 🏛 Legislature | 🗣 Communities to protect civil liberties for all in Delaware.
We’re still suing for fair elections where every vote belongs to a person, not a corporation, in ACLU-DE v. Town of Fenwick Island. Follow along here on social media and on the litigation tracker on our website for updates. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/cases/aclude...
Join the ACLU of Delaware in Rehoboth Beach to hear from Aletheia Henry, Chief Strategy Officer for the National ACLU as we discuss the challenges ahead and how we can meet them together. Join the Host Committee and RSVP for free today. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/event/we-the...
📸 Flock cameras help build a record of where people drive, assemble, worship, and protest. Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's about having the freedom to live your life without being routinely tracked. It's time to tell local and statewide officials to #GetTheFlockOut. 1/2
📣 The Reproductive Advocacy Alliance of Delaware (RAAD) is bringing together advocates, organizers, and community members to protect and expand reproductive freedom across our state. 💜🧡🩷 Join the movement by subscribing for our newsletter today. 🔗 linktr.ee/raad_de
🎉 While we're celebrating this extraordinary session, we know the work doesn't end when the gavel falls and we'll be back in Legislative Hall next year, ready to keep this momentum. Join us at events, donate, volunteer with our campaigns, and take action on our website. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org
🗳️ Midterm election season is almost here, and democracy doesn't just happen in the voting booth. It happens over coffee, around the dinner table, in text messages, and on front porches. 🗳️ And when the day comes: Vote Your Rights. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/publications...
HB 145 PASSED! ⚖️🎉 As the corporate home to thousands of companies, Delaware has a unique opportunity to safeguard privacy far across the country. Next stop: Governor Matt Meyer's desk. Privacy is a civil liberty. 🔒✊
In the wee hours of the morning, HB 180 PASSED! 🗳️ HB 180 would restore voting rights to Delawareans after they complete felony sentences, ensuring that people returning home can fully participate in the communities they live, work, and raise families in. ✊
🏳️⚧️ Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states may ban transgender girls from participating on girls' and women's school sports teams. This is a heartbreaking decision. Delaware law still protects students from discrimination based on gender identity, but... 1/2
🗳️ DELAWARE MAKES HISTORY HB 444 has passed the Delaware General Assembly. With this vote, Delaware becomes the first state in the nation following the devastating Louisiana v. Callais decision to enact a state-level Voting Rights Act. It heads to Governor Meyer’s desk to be signed into law. 🗳️✊
On this day in 2015, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, striking down all bans on marriage for LGBTQ couples nationwide. The victory came not just as a result of our lawsuit, but as a culmination of decades of advocacy from LGBTQ activists across the nation.
Thank you to the Delaware Senate for the passage of these important immigrants' rights reforms! We encourage Governor Meyer to sign these bills as soon as possible!
🏥 Reproductive freedom means more than having rights on paper, it means having real access to care without barriers. In her latest blog, Taylor VanSant reflects on the launch of RAAD, a coalition working to close the gaps in reproductive and gender-affirming care across our state. 1/2
🦋 Art. Advocacy. Accountability. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Legislative Hall today to stand with Delaware's immigrant communities and those that helped create hundreds of butterflies honoring the people detained by ICE since January 2025. 1/2
🗽 Patriotism is more than fireworks. If you're hosting friends and family this July 4, consider turning your gathering into a fundraiser for civil rights. Our new DIY Party Toolkit provides everything you need to create a meaningful event to support civil liberties here in Delaware. 1/2
🚨 URGENT - Vote is TOMORROW! 🚨 When people return home, they should have a voice in the communities they live in. House Bill 180 would restore voting rights to Delawareans who have completed felony sentences and help ensure that our democracy reflects the voices of all our communities. 1/2
📣 The MOT community showed up for voting rights at the May Fair event! Strong support, thoughtful conversations, and plenty of petition signatures headed to State Representatives. 🗳️✊
🗳️ Voting is for people, not corporations. The ACLU of Delaware is appealing the dismissal of our challenge to Fenwick Island's artificial entity voting system. We're taking this case to the Delaware Supreme Court. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/press-releas...
"Fair maps are the ONLY result!" Delaware can lead. Now it's time for our elected officials to act. Join us in demanding that our elected officials pass HB 444 NOW. 🗳️ 🔗 action.aclu.org/send-message...
🦋 Art. Advocacy. Accountability. 📣 Now let's turn art into impact. Join us on June 17 at the Immigrants' Rights Rally outside Legislative Hall. Delaware lawmakers must pass HB 368 and Private Right of Action legislation. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/event/immigr...
🗳️ Now that the election has passed, those responses remain public because accountability shouldn’t end on Election Day. Explore where your elected school board members stand on the issues and stay engaged as they make decisions that impact Delaware every day. ✏️📚 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/2026-school-...
Pride is joy. Pride is protest. Pride is protection. 🏳️🌈✨ While we're here all year round, Pride is a great time read up on your rights, protect your people, and stay ready together. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 1/2

The federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been steadily weakened by court decisions like Louisiana v. Callais, making it harder to challenge district maps that dilute the political power of Black voters and other intentionally marginalized communities. 1/2
🚨 Incarcerated people are being sprayed with chemical agents and left without proper decontamination, sometimes for hours, days, or longer. 🚨 Using chemical spray without proper decontamination isn’t just dangerous, it’s inhumane, and violates the DDOC's own policy and training mandates. 1/2
As attacks on reproductive healthcare and LGBTQ+ rights escalate, we’re building collective power in Delaware. Join us on May 20 for the launch of the Reproductive Advocacy Alliance of Delaware (RAAD) and learn how you can take action. 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/event/raad-l...
This is what advocacy in action looks like. ✊ Last week, community members came together in Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Newark for Part 3 of our Protecting Delaware’s Immigrant Communities: Activist Training series, building real skills to hold elected officials accountable. 1/2
We’re in court today at the Supreme Court of Delaware defending the public’s right to government transparency. ✊️ 🏛️ Read more on the DE Call case 🔗 www.aclu-de.org/cases/delawa...
