With the 2012 Legislative Session less than a week old, we're already facing new legislative threats to religious liberty. Because the dangers posed by proposed legislation have intensified our ongoing fight to defend the right of individual religious expression in Florida, we are thrilled to offer our members this rare opportunity to meet and hear from a national civil rights and religious freedom leader.
On Saturday, January 28, the Broward County chapter of the ACLU invites you to join us for the 2012 Annual Meeting, Elections and Rally to Support Religious Freedom with special keynote speaker Reverend Barry W. Lynn, Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Lynn has served as Executive Director of Americans United since 1992. In addition to his work as a long-time activist and lawyer in the civil liberties field, Lynn is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, offering him a unique perspective on church-state issues. He will be speaking about the current state of religious freedom in Florida and across the nation, and what you can do to help protect it.
The rally will also feature special guests Howard Simon, Executive Director of the ACLU of Florida, and David Barkey, Religious Freedom Counsel at the Anti-Defamation League of Florida.
This free event will be held at the Jim Ward Community Center in Plantation and is co-sponsored by the Palm Beach Chapter of the ACLU and the Greater Miami Chapter of the ACLU. A light lunch and refreshments will be available to Broward Chapter members and to non-members who RSVP.
We look forward to seeing you at the rally on the 28th!
