A federal appeals court ruled unanimously to block Louisiana's law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom. The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana joined a coalition of plaintiffs, including other civil liberties groups, in challenging the law on grounds that it violates the separation of church and state, thereby reinforcing protections for religious diversity and civil liberties.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana, in partnership with F4GI, launched a guaranteed income program providing $1,000 monthly to twelve individuals impacted by racist policing, mass incarceration, and systemic poverty. The initiative, part of their Truth and Reconciliation Project, includes additional holistic support services such as counseling and career guidance, aiming to redress historical inequities.

The ACLU of Louisiana's Justice Lab announced that it has secured $500,000 in awards for victims of racist policing and their families. The announcement also highlighted a recent settlement in a lawsuit involving police misconduct, demonstrating the organization's commitment to holding law enforcement accountable and protecting marginalized communities.

The ACLU of Louisiana released a comprehensive report detailing how incarcerated workers in Louisiana are exploited with wages as low as $0.02 per hour, calling for the abolition of forced labor practices and improved labor protections, including fair wages, training, and safety standards for prison labor.

On June 15, 2022, the ACLU of Louisiana released the report 'Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers', which details widespread labor exploitation in prisons, including coercion, unsafe working conditions, and inadequate pay for incarcerated workers. The report calls for urgent reforms to ensure fair labor practices and safeguard human rights, amplifying public awareness and political pressure against systemic abuse.

The ACLU of Louisiana has initiated a lawsuit against the Louisiana State Police to force the release of public records pertaining to the secretive deployment of real-time facial recognition technology by law enforcement in New Orleans. The action aims to challenge and curtail surveillance practices that disproportionately affect marginalized communities and bypass established public oversight.

An ACLU of Louisiana attorney, Bruce Hamilton, criticized a plan by Plaquemine police to purchase $400k in surveillance technology, warning that increased surveillance could erode public trust and infringe on civil liberties.

ACLU of Louisiana has denounced the secret use of real-time facial recognition technology by the New Orleans Police Department and the proposed city ordinance backing it, arguing that the unchecked surveillance risks civil liberties and disproportionately targets marginalized communities.
