We’ve Seen 105 Years and 19 Presidents. Trump’s Gotta Get Past All of Us.
During the first Donald Trump administration, the ACLU fought his unlawful policies more than 400 times. We’re even more prepared now.
The results of the election are in: Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States.
Trump’s win comes after a campaign in which he consistently targeted immigrants, transgender youth, and other vulnerable communities with hateful rhetoric. He also threatened retribution against dissidents and political opponents.
I know that many of us fear what these results mean for our communities, our nation and ourselves. We know that a second Trump administration will be even more aggressive and effective than it was before — because Trump has repeatedly said so.
“Together, we are powerful enough to change the course of our nation’s history and defend our most fundamental rights and freedoms.”
