Walk with PRIDE! …in solidarity with the Capital PRIDE Parade

May 16, 2012

JOIN US SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH @ 4:30pm!

ACLU members are proud of our history in working to make real the pledge of "Liberty and Justice for All."

Walk with us June 9th and help make American history again!

The ACLU was founded in1920 when immigrants, socialists and labor leaders were being targeted, harassed, detained and deported—not because most of the ACLU were immigrants (we weren't), but because we were Americans who recognized injustice and cared about protecting our neighbors.

Because you too recognize injustice, please join the ACLU in showing support for our gay neighbors and Walk with Pride during the Capital Gay Pride Parade on Saturday, June 9th, starting at 4:30pm. We will rendezvous at the old ACLU-NCA offices outside 1400 20th Street, NW, off Dupont Circle metro.

Sign up at (202) 457-0800, email Beverly@aclu-nca.org, donate online at www.aclu-nca.org.

The Annual Bill of Rights Dinner

September 05, 2010

The ACLU is supported by annual dues and contributions from its members. We also receive a few grants from private foundations. Each year, Washington-area “freedom-lovers” eagerly anticipate the Bill of Rights Awards Luncheon, hosted by the ACLU-NCA and spotlighting fascinating people for over forty years.

This annual celebration of old friends, new colleagues and the freedoms we hold dear, has informed and inspired both members and non-members with moving, funny, compelling and historically significant presentations.
