NEW YORK – In response to the reelection of Donald Trump to the presidency, the New York Civil Liberties Union issued the following statement attributable to Executive Director Donna Lieberman:
“The reelection of Donald Trump is an unprecedented threat to our rights and liberties and the values to which New York and the country should aspire. His movement, rooted in racism, misogyny, bigotry, and domination, seeks to ban abortion, jail and deport immigrants and separate families, criminalize protest, abolish public education, undermine the voting process, target trans people – and the list of outrages goes on.
“With fewer guardrails this time, New Yorkers are worried and angry. But we are also resolute: We demand control of our futures and our freedoms, not the fascist-in-chief.
“The NYCLU and ACLU are ready for that fight. During the first Trump administration we took on Donald Trump and won.
“The NYCLU helped beat back his Muslim Ban and rigging of the Census, rescued immigrant children taken in the dead of night and held thousands of miles away, ended indefinite ICE detention in New York, and helped hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers speak out, know their rights, and take action. We defied Trump’s movement by updating New York’s inadequate abortion law, delivering long-overdue reforms to the criminal system, winning the most progressive state voting rights act in the country, adding new state protections for LGBT New Yorkers, and more.
“Come Inauguration Day, the NYCLU is ready. We will see the Trump administration in court, we will continue to protect and advance our freedoms in the legislature and in the streets, and we will grow our movement for democracy and inclusion.”
