Principle over politics
The beginning of a new year is a good time to reflect and appreciate positive changes we’ve seen over the preceding year.
One change I’ve been grateful for is the increased work and successes of our Alaska chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU has defended free speech, personal privacy, citizens’ rights to equal treatment under the law, and more for over 100 years.
I am proud to say they can count me among their supporters.
Fueled by their successful challenge to the Trump administration’s Muslim ban, the national ACLU has grown rapidly, from 400,000 members when President Donald Trump was elected to 2 million members today.
The Alaska chapter has experienced similar growth, tripling its staff and becoming much more active and visible on Alaska issues during this time.
I heard from many Alaska women concerned that no one in power seemed to be seriously considering the allegations against him.
More unbelievably, those women found an open ear in Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who subsequently voted against Kavanaugh’s nomination.
This time, the Council wanted to enact Proposition 1, a so-called “bathroom bill” to prohibit transgender people from using restrooms consistent with their gender identity.
In addition to investing more than $100,000 in campaign cash, the ACLU hired and managed the campaign staff and offered up their own offices and staff as a resource.
