Banned Nation. The Right to Be here. Immigration is not a crime. seeking safety is not a threat. this isn't law and order. it's fear and intimidation.
Right now, People in America are being detained at traffic stops, workplace raids, and even routine check-ins.
No crime. No trial. Just disappearances.
Immigration is not a crime.
📢 We won’t stay silent while our neighbors are hunted.

Banned Nation. The Right to Justice. Communities of color have been over police, over charged, and over incarcerated for generations. that's not justice, it's systemic control.
real freedom means safety without fear, dignity without exception, and investing in communities not cages
Freedom Under Fire
Black Kentuckians are still living under the weight of over-policing, surveillance, and incarceration.
This isn’t about justice. It’s about control
We’re demanding transparency and comprehensive change to mass incarceration
#PeopleNotPrisons #FreedomUnderFire #ACLUofKY
banned nation. the right to gender affirming healthcare. it's not a debate, it's a right. denying care is denying freedom. this isn't protecting children. Join the fight.
Freedom Under Fire
Trans people, especially youth, are under political attack in Kentucky.
They’re banning evidence-based healthcare and ignoring doctors.
This isn’t “protecting children. It’s hurting them.

Freedom Under Fire
They want your patriotism to be silent and your protests polite.
But the 1st Amendment is clear.
You have the right to speak.
The right to dissent.
The right to show up.
This is Kentucky.
We don’t whisper when it’s time to shout.
#FreedomUnderFire #SpeakNowOrBeSilenced #ACLUofKY
banned nation. the right to choose. it's not freedom if your body isn't your own. join the fight. defend the right to choose.
Freedom Under Fire
They’re waving flags while stripping away YOUR rights.
🚨 This 4th of July, while we celebrate freedom, reproductive rights in KY are under attack.
Abortion is healthcare. Autonomy is American.
Join us in defending our rights!
#ReproductiveFreedom #FreedomUnderFire #ACLUofKY
Banned Nation The right to read they're not banning books to protect children. they're banning books to protect their power. fight back.
From classrooms to libraries, politicians are banning books that tell the truth about race, gender, history, and power. Censorship isn’t about protection.
It’s about control.
Kentucky deserves better. Fight back.
