ACLU Townhall Meetings

Dear Friend,

What are President Obama and Congress doing to reclaim our country and restore our rights? What is the ACLU doing? And how can you help make a difference?

Join us for the "Restore Our Rights" town hall conversation with Michael Macleod-Ball, Chief Legislative and Policy Counsel for the ACLU, to discuss the challenges and outline the steps our elected leaders must take to begin restoring our rights and the Constitution. You'll be given concrete actions you can take to start making positive change on these issues.

We're giving you two opportunities to join us! Depending on your calendar and location, please RSVP to either event below:

The town hall in Huntsville is Monday, May 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the
Unitarian Universalist Church of Huntsville (2222 Governors Dr SE).

RSVP now at http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=s9zWeyEJzbAtSgC2X6yUpw..

The town hall in Birmingham is Tuesday, May 12, at 6:30 p.m. at the
Unitarian Universalist Church of Birmingham (4300 Hampton Heights
Drive).

RSVP now at http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=4s7guZfLSJnK_YYbs_1UGg..

Our government's response to 9/11 has left us with a disastrous legacy
of bad policies, abuses of power, and civil liberties violations. Attacks have included politicization of the Justice Department, spying on innocent Americans, excessive government secrecy, top-down torture policies, and undermining the civil rights of all Americans.

The president and Congress need to work together to reverse the damage that has been done to our Constitution, and develop a long-term
positive civil rights agenda.

That's where we come in and where we need your help.

Sign up now to attend the May 11 Huntsville event at

The Obama Administration and Congress cannot repeat the mistakes of
the past the time has come to act and restore our rights, starting now. Stand up. Make your voice heard.

The town hall is free and open to the public, and light refreshments
will be provided.

We hope to see you at one of these great events!

Sincerely,

Nikki Cox
ACLU of Alabama
