Dr. Rylyn Roth’s grandmother inspired her to become a poll worker at age 16. Today, 10 years later, she still finds it an important way to give back to her community.

As Dr. Roth knows, safe, secure elections are powered by people in our communities -- our friends, family members and neighbors who serve as poll workers.

You can, too! Michigan needs more poll workers to run elections during the early voting period and on Election Day. Learn more and sign up here: https://www.powerthepolls.org/aclumi

Across Michigan, attempts to ban books have disproportionately targeted stories with LGBTQ+ themes and characters. And book bans are only one part of a broader effort to censor LGBTQ+ expression, from removing Pride flags and displays to restricting what students can access in their schools and libraries.

Our interactive map tracks formal censorship challenges and decisions across Michigan, helping make these attacks on free expression visible — and giving communities resources to fight back.

This November, Proposal 1 asks Michigan voters whether to open our state to a constitutional convention — and a potential rewrite.

For decades, Michiganders have fought to build and strengthen the civil rights and liberties protected by our constitution, from reproductive freedom to voting rights and beyond. A constitutional convention could roll back progress and allow wealthy special interests to come into our state and rewrite our constitution.

As ACLU of Michigan Executive Director Loren Khogali explains, we already have a way to make thoughtful, targeted changes to our constitution. The rights we’ve fought for deserve to be protected.

Vote NO on Proposal 1 on or before November 3.

Politicians don’t run our elections — people like Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp and hundreds of other clerks across Michigan do.

Across our state, local clerks and thousands of trained poll workers from our own communities work every election to make sure our elections are secure, fair, accurate and transparent.

Clerk Hondorp breaks down what that work looks like — and why Michiganders can have confidence in the process.

Our elections belong to the people — the eligible voters who cast their ballots, and the people in our communities who make sure every vote is counted.

Join us for a virtual townhall on the growing threat of mass surveillance in Michigan on October 1st from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are spreading across our communities, capturing vehicles and logging people’s movements in massive nationwide databases.

Every Michigander deserves the right to move through their community without being constantly tracked and surveilled.

At our virtual townhall, we’ll break down how ALPR technology works, what its growing use means for our privacy and civil liberties, and how you can organize against mass surveillance in your own community.

Privacy is a civil liberty — and protecting it takes all of us.
