Interested in bringing ACLU-D.C. issues to your local Advisory Neighborhood Commission, civic association, rec or senior center, school campus, place of worship, or other group?

We are looking for volunteers to be Community Ambassadors who connect communities to our issues. We are especially focused on deepening ties with communities that have been under-resourced, over-policed, or have faced other issues ACLU-D.C. could help with.

Founded and led by formerly incarcerated Black women and powered by Black abolitionist group Harriet’s Wildest Dreams, Courtwatch DC is a community-based mutual aid program that trains people to observe, document, and address injustice in local courts. Volunteers may observe as courtwatchers or support the work through our working groups. Trainings are available every other Thursday.
