ACLU American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): America's foremost advocate of
individual rights, the American Civil Liberties Union is a nonpartisan
organization founded in 1920. With national headquarters in New York and
Washington and 52 affiliates throughout the country, the ACLU is widely regarded as the nation's premier public interest law firm.
The ACLU believes the only way to protect the freedoms outlined in the

has the same rights. The LGBT Project fights discrimination and moves
public opinion on LGBT rights through the courts, legislatures and
public education Equality Florida Equality
Florida is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing
full equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender

gender identity.
