IPA Charities Supports ACLU’s Roger Baldwin Foundation

IPA Charities has donated $50,000 to the Roger Baldwin Foundation of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Illinois.

"As a long-time friend of the Roger Baldwin Foundation, you know that your contribution will be stewarded wisely and will help sustain our current challenges against governmental attacks on civil liberties, and help provide the framework to roll back some of the harmful damages that have already been done," said Colleen K. Connell, Executive Director.

The ACLU of Illinois is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, dedicated to protecting freedom, liberty, equality and justice for all within the United States. With more than 23,000 members throughout Illinois, and more than 550,000 members throughout the nation, the ACLU accomplishes its goals via litigation, lobbying and educational programs. The ACLU’s work is based upon, but is not limited to, protecting the liberties and freedoms guaranteed by the United States Constitution, most notably those contained in the Bill of Rights.

This year, the organization has expanded its field organizing program by adding more organizers, supplemented its legal staff with an additional attorney, energized its current grassroots activities to engage a new generation of ACLU members and supporters and continued its commitment to seize every opportunity possible to defend civil liberties in Illinois and beyond.
