Rights of the Poor
Poor people are one of the least powerful groups in the
US and their civil liberties are therefore always in a precarious state.
The ACLU of Wisconsin's Poverty, Race, and Civil Liberties Project is
our effort to defend the rights of the poor against government arbitrariness
and abuse. This includes welfare laws and practices that have often violated
the rights of the poor, especially poor women and their children.
