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.
Three weeks advance notice is generally needed to schedule the proper speaker. Please include several possible dates & times; the location; audience size, type and age-range; and your preferred discussion format. The more you tell us, the better we can match your request.
ACLU Speakers are available to your group at no charge. If your budget includes an honorarium, we would gladly accept that as a donation to the ACLU of Idaho or the ACLU of Idaho Foundation.
