ACLU of Minnesota Welcomes Howard Dean April 20; DNC Chair to speak on safeguarding civil liberties
4/12/2005 3:45 PM

Saint Paul – In the midst of House and Senate hearings on the PATRIOT Act, the ACLU of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) is bringing DNC Chair Howard Dean to the Twin Cities. The benefit, co-sponsored by the City Pages, will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center Auditorium on Wednesday, April 20 at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $30 and are available by calling the ACLU-MN office at 651-645-4097, extension 120, or by emailing [email protected] .

“We’re excited to bring Governor Dean to Minnesota,” said Chuck Samuelson, Executive Director of the ACLU-MN. “Our membership has grown from 3,600 to 7,300 in just 4 years. Minnesotans are concerned about civil liberties and hosting speakers such as Dean is a key part of our public education efforts.”

As Governor and Presidential candidate, Howard Dean contended that, “as Americans, we need to stand up and ensure that our laws reflect our values.” He was elected Chair of the Democratic National Committee in February 2005, and is the founder of Democracy for America, a grassroots organization built on the momentum of his presidential campaign.

ACLU-MN fights to protect the civil liberties of Minnesotans through litigation, public education, and lobbying related to legislation. It recently won victories expanding voting rights in Minnesota in the 2004 election and launched the Greater Minnesota Racial Justice Project, a program to eliminate racial disparities in incarceration rates between Native Americans and whites in Minnesota.
