Honoring community heroes.
Friend –
Thank you to everyone who attended our Bill of Rights Celebration on June 4! We were so delighted to celebrate our community with energizing performances by local drag queen Tara Hoot and Eastern High School's marching band, the "Blue and White Marching Machine."
We were also deeply honored to present awards to the outstanding people who do the critical work of defending our civil rights and liberties in D.C., including:
* the family of local activist and filmmaker Ryan "Soup" Morgan, who tragically lost his life last year;
* student groups and clubs who have supported ACLU's legal and organizing work;
* a group of whistleblowers who have been vital in a number of the cases we have brought against the Metropolitan Police Department;
* Mary Beth Tinker for her lifetime of service speaking up about students' rights and First Amendment rights.
