ACLU Nebraska Public Education Program
ACLU Nebraska works hard to highlight civil liberties issues in the court of
public opinion.In addition to general presentations describing our
mission and our work, some of the presentations are specifically tailored to
meet the needs of the audience. The staff is also frequently
interviewed by newspapers, radio talk shows and TV news shows.
We make public presentations to a wide variety of audiences. Among the
groups we speak to are elementary school classes, high school and junior
high schools, college classes, church groups, homeless shelter residents, PFLAG meetings, teacher trainings, PRIDE organizers, political groups such
as the Douglas County Young Republicans, and public service groups such as
the Optimists, Kiwanis, Sierra Clubs, and Tangier Shriners.
Another way in which ACLU Nebraska advances its public education mission is to participate in
coalitions where we can work in common with others who share our concern
over a specific issue. We are currently involved in cooperative work with
the following coalitions:
- Pro-Choice Coalition (reproductive freedom)
- Academic Freedom Coalition of Nebraska (First Amendment issues)
- Nebraskans Against the Death Penalty (capital punishment)
- Lincoln Bill of Rights Defense Coalition (organized against the Patriot Act)
