New York is the first state in the country to sign a contract with the federal government to implement a national identity card. National IDs would violate Americans' privacy rights by helping to consolidate data and facilitate tracking by the government. The government, your employer and your neighbors don’t need to know where you go or what you buy. Come to the forum, "Your Papers Please: What the Real ID Act Means for American Values," to learn more about the Real ID Act and how to stop it. Huntington Town Hall | ||

The NYCLU invites you to attend a private screening of the new film: "Taxi to the Darkside." When: Saturday, Jan. 19 at 4:45 p.m. Where: Angelika New York Film Center Price: Free to NYCLU supporters and allies. RSVP: Seating is open, but tickets are limited. Let us know if you plan to attend by contacting Molly at developmentmail@nyclu.org or (212) 607-3354. What’s the film about? Alex Gibney, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," writes, produces and directs "Taxi to the Darkside," a riveting documentary that examines the death of a civilian Afghan taxi driver at the hands of United States soldiers. The film takes an unflinching and often disturbing look at the Bush administration’s torture policy through never before seen images of the Bagram Air Force Base and the Guantanamo Bay prisons and interviews with former government officials, prison guards and interrogators.

Some advocates call it the biggest civil rights issue of our time. But what is the School to Prison Pipeline?

This system disproportionately impacts youth of color and youth with disabilities. As part of the NYCLU's continuing Civil Liberties Discussion Series, Chloe Dugger of the NYCLU will discuss the civil rights and civil liberties issues at play in the School to Prison Pipeline. The New York Civil Liberties Union has launched a new program to engage New York City young professionals between the ages of 24 and 40 in the civil rights/social justice movement.
