I think it's been harder and harder recently for organization based around some principal to avoid "picking a side". I withdrew support from the CCLA (Canada's ACLU) because I felt similarly, and I now favor supporting direct action, for example GoFundMe campaigns, as opposed to "causes". I actually wonder if this will be a side effect of politicization, ie that fewer people will trust nonprofits to represent their interests and well see more direct involvement in giving. That could be good in some cases, but maybe worse in things like drawn out court cases that you might expect the ACLU to get involved in
