The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) works to protect the rights of vulnerable groups of people, whether they be women, immigrants, people with disabilities or anyone else.
With Republicans hoping to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and Donald Trump still pushing forward with his travel ban, you can imagine they’re pretty busy. Too busy to care about your thoughts on burgers.

People were not having that.

That didn’t stop people trying to get the legal organisation involved though, and they somehow found time to respond.
We're kind of busy, friends.

The donation comes as the ACLU is urging Americans to call their senators, with a vote on healthcare expected to take place in the Senate very soon.
