We are the New York state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), fighting for the rights of all New Yorkers.
@nyclu.orgICE wants to intimidate, demoralize, and overpower us. But they clearly don’t know New York. These are our communities. These our streets. Say his name: Oscar Belgal. 📸 Scout Tufankjian
@nyclu.orgSay his name: Oscar Belgal.
@nyclu.orgWe demand an independent investigation into the NYPD’s role with ICE. City Council must pass the CURB Act to rein in the NYPD and protect protest. The city must close loopholes in our sanctuary policies. We demand an investigation into the shooting of Oscar Belgal. Abolish ICE - now.
@nyclu.orgWe cannot call ourselves a sanctuary city when the NYPD clears the path for ICE but goes after protestors, like we saw last night, or when the police commissioner carries water for Homeland Security and smears the name of Oscar Belgal.
@nyclu.orgICE shot at Oscar Belgal multiple times while he was in his car with his 5-year-old. He was rushed from the hospital and couldn’t be found by his own lawyers. The bullet remains in his neck. This shooting is what happens when a rogue, racist, and unaccountable ICE operates freely on our streets.
@aclu.orgReposted by @nyclu.orgBREAKING: A federal court blocked the Justice Department's efforts to seize access to sensitive voter data nationwide. Judges had already blocked the DOJ in 26 out of 26 states from forcibly collecting this information, and it's now prohibited from amassing voter data anywhere in the country.
@nyclu.org📣 Today 📣 Foley Square 📣 5:30p.m 📣 Abolish ICE NOW
@nyclu.orgICE out of the Bronx. ICE out of New York. ICE out - now.
@aclu.orgReposted by @nyclu.orgChrista Pike and Tony Carruthers' torturous execution attempts aren't exceptions, but a predictable result of the death penalty's brutality. We must end the death penalty once and for all.
@acluindiana.bsky.socialReposted by @nyclu.orgDolores Huerta is one of the most influential labor leaders of the 20th century. As co-founder of United Farm Workers, she organized hugely impactful walkouts and boycotts. We honor her ongoing fight for our communities.

@nyclu.orgThe NYCLU is proud to be here today for The People’s Hearing on Immigration Enforcement in NY.
This project matters. These stories matter. The human toll of the Trump regime’s racist, cruel war on immigrants matters.
We fight because we can. We fight because we must. @dlnyclu.bsky.social
@nyclu.orgMore than one in four public schools in Onondaga County have reported having at least one drinking-water outlet with elevated lead levels, according to a recent study. "It should be zero," said Lanessa Owens-Chaplin, Director of NYCLU's Racial Justice Center.
@nirhealth.bsky.socialReposted by @nyclu.orgMidwives are the steady hands and compassionate hearts that guide families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — rooted in trust, respect, and cultural understanding. They don’t just provide health care; they build bridges to safer, more dignified experiences for everyone. #NMW2026
@nyclu.orgAmid the Trump admin's relentless attacks on transgender young people—and hospitals' capitulation to this fearmongering—it's critical for trans youth to have access to necessary healthcare. We commend the Mamdani admin for investing in access to the healthcare trans people rely on to be themselves.
@nyclu.orgTOMORROW! Join us at the Brooklyn Heights Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library for a free Banned Books Week panel with Books Are Magic. We'll be chatting all things banned books, including protecting the freedom to read in schools, libraries, bookstores, and beyond. RSVP today 👇👇👇
@abetterbalance.orgReposted by @nyclu.orgPregnant, postpartum and lactating workers have rights on the job. We spoke to @apnews.com about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and PUMP Act, and what women should know about asking for accommodations at work. apnews.com/article/preg...
@nyclu.orgIt doesn't have to be like this. Gov. Hochul must sign the Freedom to Read Act, which requires school districts to adopt clear, rigorous protocols for handling book challenges, and also protects educators and librarians who select materials that are later removed. Add your name 👇
@nyclu.org📚 Their top targets are often books that are about race or racism, feature people of color, or include LGBTQ+ characters. But officials censor many other books – including long-taught classics – over sex, violence, death, grief, and other frequent topics of great literature.
@nyclu.org📚 In the 2025-2026 school year, officials banned a record 7,370 unique titles in U.S. public schools, according to @penamerica.bsky.social.
In New York, extremists have mounted hundreds of challenges in recent years from Long Island to the Hudson Valley to the Rochester area.
