Our Fight Forward—Protecting Civil Liberties in the States

Monday, November 1, 2021
4PM Eastern/1PM Pacific

Reproductive freedom, the rights and safety of transgender youth, and access to the ballot box are all under attack, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. During this town hall, you’ll hear from our panel of ACLU legal and advocacy experts on how we’re confronting these attacks, how we’re fighting for fair maps in redistricting, and what you can do to help. You’ll also hear from ACLU community members on how to stay resilient and inspired in the face of multiple crises.
The speakers include Brigitte Amiri, ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project Deputy Director; Sophia Lin Lakin, ACLU Voting Rights Project Deputy Director; Chase Strangio, ACLU Deputy Director for Transgender Justice; and Rebecca Lowell Edwards, ACLU Chief Communications Officer.

ACLU backs compelled speech policy in Loudoun County, Virginia. The issue is pronouns, and whether teachers should be compelled to use pronouns of a student's choosing, and the venue is the much maligned school district of Loudoun County, Virginia. The ACLU filed a brief in opposition to free speech. The American Civil Liberties Union, which has been on the decline with regard to its defense of citizens rights just as it has been increasing its adherence to backing the progressive political status quo. In the suit, the ACLU takes on the ADF, a legal advocacy group that has taken up causes once championed by the ACLU, that of free speech. The action prompted journalist Glenn Greenwald to predict the end of the ACLU as it has been, a defender of free speech rights and civil liberties, to become a propagandist arm of the federal government. Greenwald called attention to the impressive decline of the ACLU in The Intercept a year ago, saying "it has also been criticized for abandoning its core identity of being a non-partisan civil liberties group that defends free speech and due process rights of everyone, and instead transforming into a standard liberal activist group." And the ACLU is just getting worse. Should a teacher have to comply with a policy that results in girls being raped in bathrooms? Is a person who doesn't believe people should be compelled to speak against their beliefs a domestic terrorist? The ACLU would say yes.

Gaige Grosskreutz, the person armed w/a pistol who went after Rittenhouse & was shot in arm, says he’s a
ACLU legal observer. He has a long criminal history that includes a gun-related conviction.
David Cole ACLU, legal director, previously called for gun restrictions at protests. Gaige Grosskreutz, who was shot in the arm by Rittenhouse, is asked if I he had a permit to carry the firearm he had when he rushed toward the teen. “I did, ” he responds. He is asked if the permit was actually valid. “It was not, ” he answers. this is the same guy who later said, I should have shot him "Rittenhouse" when I had the chance. So the “ACLU observer” was armed with a gun, participating in a riot, attempted to grab a gun away from someone and drew their own weapon.

More plagues are coming. The racketeering, extortion, bribery, coercion, murder, blaspheme, idolatry, cannibalism must stop one way or another.

We're not fighting pro choice on abortion, we're actually fighting pro birth. They dont care about these babies once they are born or we wouldn't be fighting against child poverty and mask issues in schools and the money needed to fund schools or child care.

Those who want to repent in Jesus name Acts 2:38, receive the Holy Spirit in your heart.
The conviction of the Holy Spirit guides you out of sin continuously and forever Ephesians 4:30.

Why don't you f9 anything for gun rights? The most important amongst civil liberties? Is it because gun rights are being trampled by democrats?

I've made several inquiries into my situation and never received a response.
Frustrating and depressing.
what's unnerving is that both sides red maga & blue maga asking that ? yet I'm experiencing gross infringement of my constitutional rights tantamount to constitutional crisis. where are the advocates for capitalism, liberty, freedom, constitutional rights, actual social justice.
I face injustice from all aspects in attempts to make my life miserable yet ppl want mi to ignore my struggles for another being made to become a cog in the hamster wheel politics of "justice" which is an injustice in itself that red maga and blue maga and their rolodex of minion demographics continue to roll out. smh.
I'm American. I'm going to DC.
I'm a political prisoner in florida. I to sue the United States and the state of florida and the state of new york for gross infringement of my constitutional rights.
I have proof. In both states, my civil rights violated. I'm being prevented from making money off of my own intelligence via my consulting firm. I'm being refused appropriate healthcare. "They" as in groups of ppl want to ruin my business as a way for mi to work the minimum for their businesses and when I refuse those attempt to push mi into military and I refuse. Only way I'm joining military as commander in chief. I dont care about numerology when I have digits missing from my bank account due to aforementioned. I'm being misgender via projections akin to indoctrination. Again my right to my life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and right to self-determination in jeopardy. the powerless at be are obsessed, insignificant video games those rolodex their miscreant minion demographic(s) to harass mi. I have proof. Due to fraud capitalists that act as commies and socialists are attempting to starve mi via intellectual property theft, copyright infringement, plagiarism, defamation. And what's worse those disgusting people are attempting to force mi into prostitution. Which is retarded because I'm never into dudes, so why would I start now and I live my life as a straight man.
Who can help mi, out of the miserable situation others are attempting to put mi in.
I have no community, I have no country, I have no family. I have no friends. Ppl are attempting to break mi down as a way to get mi to go along with their crap I refuse.
Any lawyers contact:
If anyone wants to help, Im nearly destitute. $RMMPREZ
I'm Single, Uppity, Decent, Dreadhead, Dark Skin, Straight, Man, my pronouns: he/him/his, that ppl want to crush illegally and unethically.
red maga trash blue maga trash every "matter" group trash
I refuse to remain miserable so others can be comfortable.
