As the leading civil rights organization in our state, the ACLU of Wyoming believes in keeping the public informed about the state of their civil liberties. The work we do at the legislature, in the courts, and in our communities is important, but there is no better defender of civil rights than a public that is informed and engaged.
We must continue to fight for the community we want – not the one private prison companies want. We are here to keep our families together, to protect our rural communities, and to say Wyoming won’t detain for private gain.
It’s easy to request an absentee ballot and there’s still enough time to do so for most states with upcoming primaries.
Private prison companies like CoreCivic put profit above lives, and an immigration prison would bring ICE closer to Wyoming’s Latino and immigrant communities, expanding its ability prey on immigrants and break apart families in Wyoming.
From policing, prosecution and pretrial hearings, to sentencing, confinement, and release, every aspect of the system must come under intense scrutiny for how it responds to this once-in-a-lifetime national public health crisis.
