Here in Michigan, our story begins as early as 1955, when social justice advocates came together and began to plan for a state organization. The ACLU of Michigan was officially established in 1959 to defend our civil liberties. Our staff works statewide in offices in Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids.
