Are you interested in learning more about the work of the ACLU? Do members of your organization, group or class have questions about a civil liberties issue? Staff from the ACLU of Idaho give presentations to students, community organizations, service organizations, professional associations and a variety of other groups. The presentation topics are as current as today's headlines. Speakers talk about current cases and controversies or about the general work and history of the ACLU.
To reserve a speaker, please send an email request with the following information:
Please include your name; organization; contact information; dates & times; the location; audience size, type and age-range; and your preferred discussion format.
