Anthony Romero, Executive Director of ACLU, will speak on “Leadership: Stand Up for What You Believe In”

Thursday, February 7, 2008
Council Fire Room, Davies Center 7:30 P.M.

University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

A provocative speaker deeply committed to American rights, equality and freedom, Anthony Romero is the Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union and is the first Latino and openly gay man to serve in that capacity. Under Romero’s leadership, the ACLU has gained court victories on the Patriot Act and filed landmark litigation on the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody.

Most recently, the ACLU successfully challenged the Bush administration’s illegal spying program and has been able to expand its litigation, lobbying and public education efforts, including new initiatives focused on racial justice, religious freedom, privacy, reproductive freedom and lesbian and gay rights.
