New follower - what issues do you think should be prioritized and what current priorities of theirs should be crowded out?
they should crowd out the crazy new people who don't believe in the concept of an ACLU, and prioritize civil liberties over partisanship. linking to a decent primer on the tensions here, but i'm also thinking of their recent pro-vaccine mandate position.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/aclu-free-speech.html …

Definitely agree they could re-prioritize 1A issues. But 'civil liberties over partisanship' isn't substance, it's rhetoric. For example, voting rights in the 1920s was quite partisan. ACLU has a long-standing tradition of focusing on liberties that are at *most* risk.
