American Civil Liberties Union and Stand

I’ve been a member for the American Civil Liberties Union or ACLU for quite a while now. I’m not sure exactly how long but I’d guess it is somewhere around 20 or 25 years. I joined because I thought it important to support the ACLU’s fight to defend our rights and liberties.

The ACLU sends members a series of letter and newsletters at intervals which I find educational and informative. But this year they improved on that by launching a new glossy magazine called “Stand”.

The cover story in current issue of “Stand” is an interview with Edward Snowden and the ACLU Executive Director. A related story is by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner(R-Wi) on the PATRIOT Act. Then there are several other articles related to various issues in which the ACLU is involved.

I find “Stand” interesting and attractive and a great benefit of membership.
