ACLU Mobilizes Kansans on President’s Day to Defy Extremist Power Grab
CONTACT: Esmie Tseng, ACLU of Kansas, [email protected]
WHAT:
With new civil liberties abuses coming to light daily and the Trump administration’s hubris showing no signs of abating, the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Kansas will host a town hall this Presidents’ Day alongside Planned Parenthood of the Great Plains, Kansas National Education Association, and Advocates for Immigrants’ Rights and Reconciliation to educate, mobilize, and apply direct pressure on federal and state representatives.
The town hall will highlight the Trump administration’s attempts to abuse executive power to harm our communities, our civil liberties, and the constitution and the similarly blatant power grabs on the state level in Kansas. Speakers will also provide concrete actions on how to fight back at the local, state, and federal level.

WHERE:
Merriam Community Center: Campbell/Kessler Room
6040 Slater St, Merriam, KS 66202
