The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is Canada’s national human rights and fundamental freedoms organization. We have been fighting for civil liberties, human rights and basic democratic freedoms since 1964. CCLA regularly argues before all levels of court, testifies before legislatures, advocates through all media, and engages in activism, education, and outreach across the country to uphold dignity and fundamental rights for all people in Canada. We work to actively fight against injustice, such as racial profiling by police, privacy invasions by government, prolonged solitary confinement, abortion access restrictions, unfairness in the criminal system, and restrictions on freedom of expression.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET) is a non-profit research and public educational organization created in 1967 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA). CCLET supports the belief that those who understand and think critically about their rights and responsibilities are better prepared to live as global citizens. CCLET provides free educational programs to students in classrooms and newcomers in communities across the country, helping them know their rights so they can participate actively in our democratic processes — and make Canada a better, more inclusive place for all.
