Anthony Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union
Romero has headed the American Civil Liberties Union since 2001. According to Politico, there has been “an explosion of donor and membership” since Trump’s election; and the organization has found a new purpose in direct involvement in national elections. He recently announced that ACLU plans to spend $25 million in the 2018 midterms to push ballot initiatives and issues in contested races.
