Steve Block Retiring as Legislative Director of ACLU-NCA - Replacement Sought
January 20, 2011
For more than seventeen years, Steve has been monitoring the work of the D.C. Council and testifying and lobbying on our behalf. Now he says “it’s time for me to hang up my shingle.” Asked to reflect on his career, Steve stated that he has been especially gratified when ACLU initiatives were enacted into law, such as the recently passed revision of the District’s archaic disorderly conduct statutes. He adds that he is especially proud of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance’s Distinguished Service Award for his work in preventing the enactment of a sex offender registry law (Megan’s Law) that would have discriminated against the LGBT community.
