Look back at a century of work on The Open Forum archive – a digitized collection of our newsletters dating back to 1924: aclusocal.co/open-forum-arch….
Let's learn from the past, be inspired by the present, and continue the fight for justice and equality.

On this #MLKDay, I want to share a few images of the breathtaking 20-foot-tall monument that was unveiled on Friday in Boston Common, the nation’s oldest public park. It honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addresses crowds gathered to rally for southern desegregation at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on June 18, 1961. The ACLU SoCal proudly co-sponsored the event.
On #MLKDay and in our centennial year, we honor and commit to his legacy.

14 million students are in schools with police but no counselor, nurse, psychologist, or social worker.
Our children deserve to be supported, not criminalized. Police do not belong in our schools.
Here's our piece from last night about police in schools and why instead of asking for more of them, we may actually need to think about getting rid of them altogether...youtube.com/watch?v=KgwqQGvY…

The FBI wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and urged him to commit suicide.
Today, they label Black activists as “Black Identity Extremists.”
Surveilling activists was wrong in the past and has no place in our present.
ALT Red background with what looks like a stack of old papers with a black and white photo of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. paper clipped to the top of the stack of papers. Above the photo is typed: "Never forget: America's champion for nonviolent civil disobedience was wiretapped and urged to commit suicide by the FBI." On the photo of Dr. MLK, Jr. is what looks like a piece of ripper papre with "MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Civil Rights Activist" typed on it in black.

LGBTQ people have always existed.
Our fight for legal recognition in the US didn’t begin with the ACLU’s first LGBTQ rights case in 1936 — and this fight is far from over. aclu.org/issues/lgbtq-rights…

In Lancaster, city officials and the L.A. Sheriff's Department are addressing homelessness by pushing people out into the high desert.

To survivors of any trauma who worry about being believed, or that their situation wasn’t “bad” enough or “too” bad, or fear being branded or deemed “manipulative” for telling the truth: I see you.
Community is here for you. You are safe with me, & with all of us. You are loved!
Caylin Perry retweeted
You may not know that you know a survivor, but it’s highly likely that you do.
Survivors of trauma are close to you. They are people you love & you may not know.
Many decide whether their story is safe with someone by how they respond to other survivors.
Don’t push them away.
Caylin Perry retweeted
Thanks for making the space for me, and hope we can all make space for others to tell their stories in the weeks to come.
And to those who wish to paper over their misdeeds by rushing us to all “move on” - we can move on when the individuals responsible are held to account.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s visionary legacy includes his work toward economic justice.
For people to be well both physically and mentally, we must ensure that our communities have the resources they need to thrive.
Economic justice is racial justice.

There are twice as many police as social workers in California schools.
We are 48th in the nation for school counselors.

.@GavinNewsom, when will you prioritize our students?
We need a state budget that includes our youth and their mental health.

It’s cowardly to resign in lieu of your moral responsibility to invoke the 25th Amendment.
You're trying to save face, but if you actually cared about stopping violence, you wouldn’t have dismantled Title IX protections for sexual assault survivors.
We won't forget that.
