Summary

Join us for our annual fundraiser, Evening of Dissent: Make it Count!
Learn about the critical work we are doing to defend and uphold the rights of people living in our state and across the country. UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE For today and the future.

Evening of Dissent: Make it Count is the ACLU of Minnesota's new fundraising event, taking the place of our annual breakfast for the second year.

{UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE} As we are watching history repeat itself in real time, we are reminded of one eternal truth: what we do today to protect our rights, matters tomorrow.

For almost 75 years, the ACLU of Minnesota has been defending people's civil liberties to protect against violating government overreach. Because of those that came before us, and the work they did, we have the protections and tools to defend civil liberties today.
Now is the time that we must become the loudest voices and take back the power of our rights.

What actions are we taking to not only to defend our civil liberties now, but to enshrine them for future generations?
How do we reclaim, and keep, the power of our rights?
What are we doing to protect our power today to help further the advancement of civil liberties in years to come?

Join ACLU-MN staff and special guests as we discuss the critical work we are doing to defend and uphold our rights against ongoing unconstitutional attacks.

For today and the future. {UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE}
