American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) — employee-count: 1400
The claim asserts that ACLU's employee count is 1,400 as of 2024. The Wikipedia source confirms one component of this claim: it explicitly states '500 staff attorneys' in the Staff field. However, the source does not provide the total employee count of 1,400. The additional context mentions that the 1,400 figure comes from 'aclu.org/about' and 'Wikipedia,' but the Wikipedia excerpt provided does not contain this total figure—only the 500 staff attorneys figure. Since the source partially confirms the claim (via the 500 attorneys detail) but does not directly state or confirm the 1,400 total employee count, this is a partial confirmation rather than a full confirmation.

Since the source partially confirms the claim (via the 500 attorneys detail) but does not directly state or confirm the 1,400 total employee count, this is a partial confirmation rather than a full confirmation.
NoteThe source text only provides information about '500 staff attorneys' as a specific staff category, not total employee count. The claim states total employee count is ~1,400 (as of 2024), but the Wikipedia excerpt does not contain a total staff figure. While the additional context mentions that aclu.org/about states '~1,400 staff nationally' and that 'total staff count from Wikipedia' was used, the actual total employee count is not present in the provided source text excerpt. The source confirms 500 staff attorneys exist, but this is a subset, not the total headcount claimed.
NoteThe source confirms the 500 staff attorneys figure mentioned in the additional context, but does not provide the total employee count of 1,400. The source only mentions 'more than 1.1 million members' (which refers to membership, not employees) and '500 staff attorneys' plus 'thousands of volunteer attorneys.' While the additional context suggests approximately 1,400 staff nationally including 300-500 staff attorneys, the source text excerpt does not directly confirm the 1,400 total employee figure. The source partially addresses the claim by confirming one component (staff attorneys) but lacks the complete data point.
