While ACLU-DE does not usually handle cases against private entities, when an employee faced religious discrimination, we were able to ensure religious protections for her, as well as an agreement with the corporation to conduct diversity training.

This Independence Day, the ACLU wants to remind everyone that the Constitution is for 100% of Americans, not a select few.

It's time for Delaware to repeal the death penalty. It is randomly applied, and disproportionately impacts people based on race, location, and quality of counsel. For more information, go to www.derepeal.org.

What should happen when a law conflicts with someone’s religious practice? Should the person be exempted from the law? Or should the person have to obey like everyone else?

UPDATE: Thanks to your response, the Delaware State Senate voted by a  large majority to pass HB 9 in the final days of the legislative session. This was the “first leg” of the constitutional amendment process. In order for the provisions of HB 9 to become part of the Delaware Constitution, a bill identical to HB 9 must pass in the next General Assembly as well. Thank you for helping take the first steps needed to expand the voting rights of people who were convicted of a felony and paid their debt to society. We look forward to your support again next year. In the mean time, make sure to let your elected representatives know that Delaware deserves expanded participation in our democracy, not restrictions to voting rights.
