Donate to the ACLU of Kentucky this Give Local Louisville day here.

Today the ACLU of Kentucky is taking part in the biggest day of local giving, Give Local Louisville. Organized by the Community Foundation of Louisville, Give Local Louisville is an opportunity for us and hundreds of other nonprofits in the Greater Louisville area to take part in 24 hours of online charitable giving.

During Give Local Louisville, each dollar that we raise will be augmented through proportionate match and prize dollars, giving us a chance to increase our total support! As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we are asking you to give $60 (or any amount) to support our work to protect civil liberties.  Here are 60 reasons why you should give...
