The American Civil Liberties Union:

A socially liberal group of NYC lawyers that will, through the U.S. Legal System, viciously defend the rights they say are protected by the U.S. Constitution, whether or not culturally moral.

Though not always, the ACLU mostly sues parties potentially responsible for situations that are currently popular in the media and that adversely affect the "victim" of the issue.
