The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is headquartered at the Max Wohl Civil Liberties Center in midtown Cleveland, supported by a staff of 16, as well as numerous interns, law clerks and volunteers. The building was purchased and renovated in 2001, and now provides a comfortable home with the flexible space and technology that our staff needs to support our leaders, volunteers and activists across the state. The ACLU has chapters and working groups throughout Ohio to promote the efforts of the ACLU in their communities. The ACLU of Ohio is an affiliate of the national ACLU. Founded in 1920, the ACLU is a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization with affiliates in all 50 states dedicated to defending and expanding the civil liberties of all Americans.
