The American Civil Liberties Union this week laid off 23 employees, about 7 percent of the organizations national staff.
The cuts affected employees in New York, D.C., California and Wyoming.
ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero announced the impending reductions internally in a March 26 email to employees, and the affected staffers were notified Monday.
In the email, which was obtained by The Washington Post, Romero cited the need for the ACLU to cut costs. In addition to the layoffs, the organization during the fiscal year ending March 31, eliminated ten national staff positions, postponed its nationwide staff conference to 2016 and increased employee contributions to health plan costs.
Over the last five fiscal years, the ACLUs annual operating deficit averaged more than $15 million, and the organization has used reserves to fill the gap, Romero wrote.

They file bogus lawsuits and their buddies on the bench force a settlement on the defendant part of which is that they have to cough up a large sum of cash to help further ACLU’s “public service”. That's how the NAACP,LaRaza,Southern Poverty Law Center, and various environmental groups get funding.

Nobody saw this coming, said one former employee who was affected by the cuts and asked not to be named in order to preserve professional relationships. The organization is lush with funds and then suddenly were told of the layoffs. I was told to box my belongings and leave the premises as soon as possible. The very organization entrusted with protecting civil liberties didnt even respect the civil rights of its own employees. Schadenfreude!

They're part of a vanishing demographic. Plus, haven't they made the mistake of supporting some legit claims of a conservative victim or two? That's got to have been a bigger ass-kicking than Skokie was.

Well then, they’ll just need more government funding. That or they’ll just have to find more Christians or churches to sue.

ACLU is funded primarily by lawsuit “winnings” when their targets give in.

When your original purpose is to weaken and destroy a nation by using it's own laws and your perverted sense of Justice (and you do it successfully), at some point in time you will have worked yourself out of a job. I personally hope the founders and decades of ACLU supporters enjoy every misery in Hell they bring upon themselves.

“...stick them in the pre-paid envelope, and send them to the ACLU.”
I save the myriad prospectuses (prospecti?) that we receive...some the size of small phonebooks ...and tape them together with the business reply envelope.
The heavier the package, the more they pay. First class by the ounce, I believe. I have considered wrapping & sending bricks.

ACLU is nothing short of an alliance of hate-America groups composed mostly of queers, shysters, racists, and criminals. May they all go straight to hell.
