ACLU of Wisconsin

Vote to protect our Constitution. Vote to protect equity. Vote NO on Question 3.

Over 55,000 Wisconsinites cast in-person absentee ballots during the first day of early voting. Voting early is a secure, accessible, trusted voting option in Wisconsin. Tens of thousands of Wisconsinites vote early every year, and it’s a great option if you want to beat the Election Day lines.

Early voting begins TODAY! 🗳️ Life is unpredictable, but voting doesn’t have to be.

Targeting elected officials and judges for defending our rights and opposing the president's abuses is straight out of an authoritarian playbook – and we must act immediately.

ICYMI: We filed a petition directly with the Wisconsin Supreme Court asking it to require the government to obtain a judicial warrant in order to search data collected by ALPRs like Flock and Axon cameras.

The midterm election is coming on November 3, and there are three binding referendum questions on the ballot. We oppose the anti-equity amendment, Question 3. If this amendment is passed, it would eliminate the equity-based civil rights gains Wisconsin has made over the last 60 years.

What role should sheriffs play in federal immigration enforcement? That question is central to sheriff's races in Sauk and Winnebago counties, where Democrats are campaigning to end participation in the federal 287(g) program. Read our collab with @BoltsMag.org wisconsinwatch.org/2026/10/wisc...

This year during Banned Books Week, we’re celebrating the freedom to read whatever we choose – free from government interference.

At least 57 people have died in immigration detention since 2025, more than double the number of deaths recorded from the previous 4 years combined. As egregious as the current mortality rate is, it still does not include an accurate death toll resulting from the neglect in ICE detention centers.

Award winning and critically acclaimed director, producer, comedian and ACLU ambassador W. Kamau Bell joined us at our Reclaiming Our Rights Luncheon and spoke about protecting democracy, reminding us that the fight continues.

45 community organizations sent a letter to the Milwaukee Common Council, Mayor Johnson, Chief Norman, and the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners calling on the City of Milwaukee to end its contract with Flock Safety, a company providing AI-powered surveillance technology.
