ACTION! A Conference for Civil Libertarians
 
Seeking Liberty
Over 200 activists converged on Columbus in July 2010 for the ACLU membership conference. Participants learned about unfair sentencing, reproductive choices, ending the death penalty, and achieving equality under the law – and about action steps they could take to make change.		   Chris Link and ACLU Board Members

Old bonds were renewed and new connections made as activists met in workshops covering topics like technology and privacy, safe schools, immigration, and religious freedom. Participants heard from panels of civil liberties experts, and had the chance to ask questions and make comments.
