- The American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota continues the work of the ACLU of the Dakotas, which was formed in 1971 as a Chapter of the National ACLU. The chapter split into two entities, representing the two discrete states, in 2008. The ACLU of South Dakota is the local representation of the National ACLU, which primarily works out of its New York and Washington DC offices. The ACLU of South Dakota seeks to defend and advance the constitutionally protected rights of all people living in the state. The ACLU of South Dakota especially works with those groups who have not had their full constitutional protections granted to them such as racial minorities, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered people and other groups who have not yet realized their full rights under the Bill of Rights.
