The American Civil Liberties Union, founded in 1920, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that organizes support for nearly 6,000 court cases annually and has more than 500,000 members nationally. Duke’s student chapter focuses on University-specific consequences of preserving individual rights by increasing student understanding of and familiarity with such issues
as the death penalty, reproductive rights, and due process. We host forums, debates, speakers, and intercollegiate conferences, and have worked in the past with on-campus groups like the Duke Political Union, College Republicans, Duke Democrats, and Duke Conservative Union. We have even been named one of the two most active student chapters in the country!
