RECENT VICTORY:
Did you hear about our recent victory in our Martinez case? The one about gay marriage?! Here's a clip from our press release: "In a unanimous decision, a New York appellate court today ruled that marriages of same-sex couples entered into outside of New York must be recognized in this state."
Incredible! For more information view the decision at: http://www.nyclu.org/files/martinez_decision_020108.pdf
ONGOING EVENTS
Free Food! And Discussion. Every first Tuesday of the month. Formally called: The NYCLU Civil Liberties Discussion Series. Note: Please include the "The" whenever speaking of the Discussion Series. The next The NYCLU Civil Liberties Discussion Series event will be on the first Tuesday of the month. Easy to remember, right?! The topics vary, but always about civil liberties, and we will announce what it is ASAP. But know, that it will be fierce. Illuminaries talk, you eat, and we all discuss at the end. Fierce. Just like our last one which was on fierce ssues in NYS. You missed it. Don't let it happen again.
ALSO:
Check out our events tab over here to the right of the screen. It is a great way to learn about the work we do, the hot civil liberties issues of the day, meet new people and who knows, maybe meet that civic-minded special someone you have been dreaming of since like forever.

WHAT ARE WE DOING ON MYSPACE:
This is a place for all of us to congregate and make a ruckus, myspace style. Have fun, be serious, spread words, educate each other, create community forums, post videos, post discussions, organize... And all else, it would seem.
EXPECT:
Postings of articles that have civil liberties issues, our press releases as they are released, entertaining and informative videos on issues of the day, invitations to events, and a large dose of fierceness overall, from the content to the people. We hope you enjoy.
