David –
Just a short while ago, Donald Trump announced his intention to run for the presidency again.
Five years ago, you and the ACLU showed up in force against then-President Trump's cruel and hateful policies: With your support, we filed 424 legal actions against the Trump administration in 4 years. And if Trump thinks a second term would let him continue the unconstitutional and un-American policies of his first term, we'll be ready to fight back again at every turn. Count on it.
Our litigation and advocacy served as a bulwark against the worst abuses of the Trump administration – from family separation to the Muslim ban to efforts to purge immigrants from the U.S. Census.
We are still doing clean-up on the lasting impact of Trump policies to this day – particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border. Moreover, Trump appointees on the federal bench have also notably done their best to gut abortion rights, limit voting rights, and strip immigrants and LGBTQ individuals of their basic rights.
So let me be clear: While we remain engaged in these critical battles for people's rights today – at all levels of government and nationwide – the ACLU will also be battle-ready for a second Trump administration.
I know you're with us in this fight always, David – and I want to close by thanking you for showing up with us in this moment and every moment our constitutional rights are at stake. We could not do it without you.
In solidarity,
Anthony D. Romero
