Coming to TV on September 8: The ACLU Freedom Files Dear Thomas, "The critical work that the ACLU is doing is the stuff of real drama. These are regular people, people who could be a neighbor, who have found themselves fighting to defend their constitutionally-guaranteed rights. These are important and powerful stories that we need to tell." Robert Greenwald, Producer Unconstitutional and Outfoxed Click here to watch a preview of the series. --------------------------------- Stay Tuned You'll be hearing more from us next week on how you can help make a difference on the Patriot Act and get a free DVD, so stay tuned. ACLU members and supporters ask me regularly how we can strip away the headlines, sound bytes and easy clichés about our work and show the world the effect of civil liberties on real people every day. I'm thrilled to tell you about a new television program we're launching that does exactly that, The ACLU Freedom Files. With this series, we have an unprecedented opportunity to capture public attention and teach and mobilize new audiences around the pressing civil liberties issues that threaten people all across America. Developed and created in partnership with award-winning film producer Robert Greenwald (Unconstitutional, Outfoxed), The ACLU Freedom Files, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Kagan, is a series of ten 30-minute episodes featuring real clients and the attorneys who defend them, as well as well-known actors, activists and comedians. You can preview our new series right now at http://www.aclu.tv/. In an age where information reaches audiences in a myriad of ways, the series will engage people in a new kind of "information activism" to bring about real change on key issues. The show will reach millions of viewers via satellite network Link TV, on college campuses across the country on Zilo TV, and via new media, technology and grassroots networks such as video blogs, podcasts, streaming video, viewing parties, screenings and more. The premiere episode "Beyond The Patriot Act" airs in the first week of September for a very specific reason: three year's and one very long summer's worth of legislative strategy and grassroots activism will culminate this fall as the House and Senate versions of the Patriot Act go to conference to create a final Patriot Act reauthorization bill to be presented to the President. This is where your voice can make a difference. In the coming weeks, the ACLU will be leveraging the series, an accompanying DVD and other materials to help liberty-loving people across America urge Congress to act sensibly and bring the Patriot Act in line with the Constitution.
