About

The ACLU of North Dakota works in communities, legislatures and courts to preserve the rights and liberties enshrined by the Constitution of the United States of America.

50+ Years of Protecting Freedom in North Dakota

Since 1971, our team has been working in communities across the state of North Dakota to defend the civil rights and civil liberties of you, your neighbors, and your family through litigation, education, and community engagement.

The ACLU of North Dakota is part of a three-state chapter that also includes South Dakota and Wyoming. The team in North Dakota is supported by staff in those states.

We are the ACLU of North Dakota

Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, protecting free speech, achieving full equality for the LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit community, securing the rights of immigrants, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.

Join us as a Cooperating Attorney

The ACLU of North Dakota could not pursue its mission without the support and assistance of volunteer attorneys who partner with staff lawyers in cases litigated by the organization.

We rely on cooperating attorneys for projects big and small, from legal research appropriate for summer associates to major impact cases that will demonstrate your firm's resolve to protect civil liberties and help the lives of real people in our community.

If you and/or your firm have an interest in becoming an ACLU of North Dakota cooperating attorney, please complete the form below. We'll be in touch.
