Help Unite Communities and Ensure Civil Rights!

By Frank Knaack Associate Director of Public Policy and Advocacy On March 31, the ACLU of Texas is co-sponsoring Civil Rights in the 21st Century: Uniting Communities for Justice, a conference and community engagement event.  This is a historic gathering of a broad range of groups coming together in the name of civil rights and justice,  and we are excited to announce that Amy Goodman, host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, will be the conference’s keynote speaker. We hope this conference will serve as a public education event, but our main goal is to use this gathering as an opportunity to connect community activists and look for ways to coordinate our work to better ensure that all Texans’ realize their fundamental human rights. Over the next three weeks, this blog will cover the topics that will be highlighted at the event.  Want to learn more about the conference and find out how to register?  Please visit www.civilrightscoalition.net. We hope to see you there!
