"During the current defamation lawsuit between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, some have claimed that the ACLU made Ms. Heard an ambassador for gender justice and wrote an op-ed on her behalf in exchange for her pledge to donate money to the ACLU. This is wrong. We do not write op-eds or offer ambassadorships in exchange for donations. Period. Becoming an ACLU Artist Ambassador is entirely voluntary; it is a favor to the ACLU, not vice versa."
"In 2016, Ms. Heard pledged to donate $3.5 million over 10 years to the ACLU. "
ACLU Artist Ambassadors volunteer their talents and platforms to elevate civil rights and civil liberties.
