The ACLU of New Jersey today announced it has been selected as the featured organization for the Newark stop of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour – which takes place at the Prudential Center on April 20, 2026. The national ACLU has been selected as the featured organization for the May 27, 2026, show in Washington, D.C., at Nationals Park.

“We’re honored to have the opportunity to work with New Jersey's own Bruce Springsteen to advocate for the rights and freedoms that all people deserve,” said ACLU-NJ Executive Director Amol Sinha. “This moment requires all of us, and we are grateful to Bruce, who is using his platform to fight against authoritarianism and for our rights. We share a love for New Jersey and a desire to make the Garden State safer and freer for everyone who calls it home. Our team is thrilled to connect with everyone who shares our mission to protect and defend civil liberties, and who knows the power that art and music have to change the world.

ACLU-NJ representatives will be at the Prudential Center on the night of the show to talk to concertgoers about its work. The partnership with ACLU-NJ comes on the heels of the national ACLU campaign to defend birthright citizenship, in which Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” was featured.
