Celebrating Diversity, Inclusion, Acceptance, and Reproductive Rights: Our Support for the ACLU
At Forever In Harmony, we believe in more than just creating beautiful products—we believe in standing for what’s right. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and reproductive rights is central to who we are as a brand. These values shape our decisions, our partnerships, and the way we connect with our community. That’s why we’re proud to publicly support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an organization that has been tirelessly fighting for civil rights and liberties for over a century.
In this blog, we’ll share why we’ve chosen to stand alongside the ACLU, explore the vital work they do, and explain how our partnership reflects the values we celebrate as a brand.
Who Is the ACLU?
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was founded in 1920 to protect and defend the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Over the years, the ACLU has played a pivotal role in some of the most significant legal and social battles in the United States, advocating for freedom of speech, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, immigrants' rights, and more.
Some key milestones in the ACLU’s history include:
-
Brown v. Board of Education (1954): Supporting the landmark case that ended racial segregation in public schools.
-
Loving v. Virginia (1967): Fighting for and winning the right for interracial couples to marry.
-
Roe v. Wade (1973): Advocating for reproductive freedom and a woman’s right to choose.
-
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015): Standing up for marriage equality for same-sex couples.
Today, the ACLU remains at the forefront of critical battles for civil rights, often working to protect vulnerable and marginalized communities.
Why We Support the ACLU
As a brand, Forever In Harmony is deeply committed to the principles of equality, inclusion, and acceptance. These values are not just marketing buzzwords for us—they are the foundation of how we operate and connect with our customers. Supporting the ACLU is a natural extension of our mission to celebrate diversity and stand up for human rights. Here are a few reasons why we’ve chosen to align with this incredible organization:
1. Fighting for Reproductive Rights
The ACLU has been a staunch advocate for reproductive freedom, fighting to ensure that individuals have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. At a time when reproductive rights are under attack across the United States, we believe it’s more important than ever to support organizations like the ACLU that are leading the charge to protect this fundamental right.
2. Championing Diversity and Inclusion
The ACLU’s work spans a broad spectrum of issues, from racial justice to LGBTQ+ rights. Their commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive society resonates deeply with our own values. Whether it’s advocating for fair housing, fighting against discrimination, or ensuring equal access to education, the ACLU’s efforts align with our belief that everyone deserves respect, dignity, and opportunity.
3. Defending Freedom of Expression
As creators and innovators, we value the freedom to express ourselves—and we believe everyone deserves that right. The ACLU has long been a defender of free speech, even when it’s unpopular or controversial. Their work ensures that the voices of marginalized communities are heard and protected.
4. Protecting Immigrants’ Rights
As a diverse brand that celebrates cultures from around the world, we stand with the ACLU in their fight to protect the rights of immigrants and refugees. Their work to combat unjust immigration policies and defend the rights of those seeking a better life reflects our own commitment to acceptance and inclusion.
