Lane County Chapter

Who We Are

The Lane County Chapter of the ACLU of Oregon seeks to protect and promote civil liberties in Lane County. We work locally to further the mission of the ACLU of Oregon. The ACLU believes that the freedoms of press, speech, assembly, and religion, and the rights to due process, equal protection and privacy, are fundamental to a free people. Within this broad framework, we focus on the specific strategic priorities of the ACLU of Oregon: immigrant rights, police practices and digital privacy. We study emerging civil liberties issues; host events in Lane County in order to increase awareness of civil liberties issues; we monitor the activities of local government agencies; and we protest local civil liberties violations and celebrate advances in human rights.

Legal Requests: Our chapter does not handle request for legal help. If you believe your rights have been violated, please call the ACLU of Oregon Legal Request Line 888-527-ACLU (2258) or fill out the online legal request form on this website.

PAST EVENTS 

For the 2012 Annual Meeting, held February 25 in the EWEB Training Room, we set the bar high for change and justice in Lane County and the state of Oregon. This year's theme was Pride and Prejudice: Fighting for Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered Rights in Oregon. We heard from Basic Rights Oregon and from local high school Gay Straight Alliances in their efforts to progress equality throughout Oregon.
