The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California The ACLU’s purpose is to protect all people’s civil liberties. Even if the person doesn’t have in money. The ACLU NC was founded in 1934 during the General Strike to protect striking longshoremen from Police brutality. This chapter of the ACLU is based in San Francisco. Now days the ACLU is involved of some one the most important issues of today, such as reproductive rights, immigration, abolishment of the death penalty, and Gay and Lesbian rights. The ACLU is almost constantly fighting the state of California to protect the rights of people they believe have had their civil liberties infringed upon. If it weren’t for the ACLU, the Government would most definitely not enforce the Bill of Rights or the Constitution when it favored their views.
