A new report from the Nebraska State Ombudsman’s office shows that public safety has been compromised and taxpayer dollars wasted by Nebraska’s failure to invest in mental health services and rehabilitation programs. In the past decade, ACLU of Nebraska sounded alarms about these problems in Nebraska’s correctional system as well as county jails. A decade later, we still need lawmakers to make meaningful reforms that keep us safe, treat people fairly, and use taxpayer dollars wisely.

In the wake of record levels of turnout last year, we're seeing far too many states try to cut back on voter access and disenfranchise Black and Brown voters.
Those bills in Nebraska don't look to have a path forward this year, but that doesn't mean the work is done. Make time this weekend to tell our federal lawmakers to protect our voting rights.
Today is day five of #DoGoodWeek, when Nebraskans come together to support communities and the nonprofits that serve them.
This #FundItFriday, we are extra thankful for our supporters who help us protect civil rights and civil liberties for all Nebraskans. Here at the ACLU of Nebraska we do not take government dollars to fund our work. Everything we do is made possible by Nebraskans like you.
