The ACLU Membership Conference is in full swing! Our Young Leaders Reception, where Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantánamo star Kal Penn made an appearance, just wrapped up. Kal will speak in our “Rights, Camera, Action” panel discussion at 8 p.m. tonight.
Watch this space for live-blogging from ACLU staffers, podcasts with journalists and ACLU clients and members, and even some video of the action at the conference. And if you’re in the D.C. area, it’s not too late to join us. We’re at the Washington, D.C., Convention Center, and we’re here ’til Tuesday!
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. Finally, the ACLU cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information in the comment section and expressly disclaims any liability for any information in this section.
