ABOUT THE ACLU AND THE SOUTHERN COLLECTIVE<\/h2>\n

For 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation\u2019s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it\u2019s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With nearly two million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual\u2019s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, and record of arrest or conviction.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the ACLU launched the Southern Collective, a collaborative project of the national office and the ACLU affiliates of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Collective works to address the challenges in the South that are rooted in its unique history of racial oppression and violence and equally remarkable history of civil rights struggles and victories. It focuses on advancing high-impact, collaborative initiatives across the region in order to pave the way for racial justice nationwide.<\/p>\n

ABOUT NBLSA<\/h2>\n

For over 50 years, the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) has sought to\u202fincrease the number of culturally responsible Black and minority attorneys who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the\u202fcommunity; to instill in the Black law student a greater commitment to the needs of the Black community; and to influence the legal community by bringing about meaningful legal and political change that addresses the needs and concerns of the Black community.<\/p>\n

The 12 states in the ACLU\u2019s Southern Collective are covered by NBLSA Regions as follows:<\/p>\n
