Project Liberty, the NYCLU’s very own TV show, made its broadcast debut this spring in New York City. While we don’t expect it to win any Emmy awards, Project Liberty provides a sleek and compelling way to stay informed about our work.
The premier episode blends the voices of real New Yorkers with NYCLU staff to explore civil rights and civil liberties issues that affect everyone. It examines a new anti-bullying law to protect New York’s public school students, the need to fix the nation’s broken immigration system, and concerns about the NYPD’s unconstitutional and racially biased stop-and-frisk practices.
The program also outlines some of the NYCLU’s legislative goals for New York State this year, including marriage fairness in New York State, the Reproductive Health Act, and nonpartisan redistricting to counter the state's long tradition of politicized gerrymandering.
The half-hour show currently airs in Manhattan. Eventually it will be broadcast on public access stations throughout New York City. New episodes will be produced on a quarterly basis.
