About Us

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is the Indiana affiliate of the national American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU of Indiana is dedicated to protecting the freedoms guaranteed to Indiana residents by the Indiana and United States Constitutions. The ACLU of Indiana is nonpartisan and does not endorse political candidates.

The ACLU of Indiana is neither a government agency nor a general legal services organization. We have limited resources and staff and are unable to pursue every case that comes to our attention. All requests for legal assistance must be submitted in writing, and can be submitted through our website at www.aclu-in.org/file_a_complaint or by calling our intake line at 317-635-4059, ext. 102.

The ACLU of Indiana is comprised of two separate corporate entities, the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana Inc. and the ACLU of Indiana Foundation. Although both the ACLU of Indiana Inc. and the ACLU of Indiana Foundation are part of the same overall organization, it is necessary to have two separate organizations in order for the ACLU to do a broad range of work in protecting civil liberties, including litigation, legislative action, advocacy, communications outreach, education and fundraising. This website refers to both organizations under the name "ACLU of Indiana."
