Friend –

In the face of attacks on our civil rights and civil liberties, the ACLU-D.C. has been busy defending what is rightfully ours, including immigrants' rights and D.C. home rule.

Amidst the turmoil of 2025, we know how important it is to come together, reflect on our impact, and recommit to the work ahead. Our annual Bill of Rights Celebration brings together our incredible community of advocates, leaders, and supporters in an evening of community, solidarity, and shared purpose around protecting civil rights.

You're invited, and we'd love to see you there. Please join us for this special social hour with drinks and appetizers as we come together to celebrate and honor outstanding people defending civil rights and liberties in D.C.

At this year's celebration, we will honor these community members with awards:

• Jay Brown; Community activist and organizer
• David Cole; Former ACLU National Legal Director and D.C. resident
• 2020 racial justice demonstrators; Courageous people defending our rights

Tickets start at $51 in honor of D.C.'s continued fight for statehood. Each ticket provides access to our happy hour (with 2 drink tickets), awards ceremony, and dessert hour.

As always, thank you for your support. We hope to see you on Tuesday, May 13.

Thanks for sticking with us,

ACLU of the District of Columbia
