Widely known as a sex-advice columnist, Dan Savage is now a household name thanks to his It Gets Better video project on YouTube. The project, which has gained immense popularity since its creation in September 2010, asks people to make and upload short positive videos about their experiences about the LGBT community. Millions have viewed the videos and participated so far, including President Barack Obama and entertainer Janet Jackson. Advertising Age has called It Gets Better one of the top social media campaigns of 2010. His new book, It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying and Creating a Life Worth Living, was released in March 2011.

Join the board and staff of the ACLU of Oregon, along with hundreds of other civil liberty supporters, as we celebrate our accomplishments of the past year.
