UNITE at Empire: ACLU Benefit (Free w/ RSVP)

Empire

SXSW #UNITE at EMPIRE

ACLU Nationwide / ACLU of Texas Fundraiser

We invite you to join us on March 18th, 2017 at Empire Control Room & Garage and unite together, with love for one another in support of the American Civil Liberties Union.

As of late, the Trump administration poses the single greatest threat to civil liberties, civil rights, and the rule of law. Injustice is being carried out by the current administration in their continued effort to seemingly try and wipe any sort of peace, justice, love or fairness from this country.

The ACLU's charge is to stand ready to confront any unconstitutional elements of the administration's agenda — today and every day after for the next four years. Join us in this fight to change not only policy, but hearts and minds. We are fighting for equality. We are fighting for peace. We are fighting for love.

--------About the ACLU:

https://www.aclu.org/

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.

Whether it’s achieving full equality for LGBT people, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age of widespread government surveillance, ending mass incarceration, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.
