The MCLU supports workplace giving through MaineShare

Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself.

On his first full day in office, President Obama said, "A democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency."

Just a few months later, he refused to release photos depicting torture and abuse.

Clearly, our work is not done. The ACLU knows that accountability for torture is a legal, moral, and ethical imperative. Come hear about the ACLU's advocacy around torture, as well as the work of co-sponsors, Amnesty International and the Maine Council of Churches. Ben Wizner, Staff Attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union's National Security Program will be in Portland on Tuesday, June 16th at the First Parish Church in Portland (425 Congress St) from 7-9pm. On a panel moderated by Rich Killmer, Executive Director of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, Wizner will speak with:

Matthew Alexander, Former Senior Interrogator in Iraq and author of How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq

Tom Parker, Policy Director for Terrorism, Counter Terrorism, and Human Rights for Amnesty International, USA

George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary's Hazel Thompson McCord Professor of Systematic Theology
