Students: Know Your Health Rights
If you're a teen in California, you have rights. That's what this booklet, Your Health, Your Rights, prepared by our friends at the ACLU of Northern California, is all about. You have a right to privacy and reproductive health care. It has lots of information about different things that may come up in your life.
The ACLU Defends Rights of Police Officers
The ACLU is well known for its vigorous efforts to combat police misconduct, but not generally recognized for its legal advocacy on behalf of police officers. Because we sometimes need to criticize the misconduct of some police officers and departments, the ACLU is thought to be “anti-cop” in some quarters. This is ironic. We are often in the position of promoting good policing, which necessitates pointing out instances in which police officers or departments have violated the community trust. We strongly believe that police are entitled to constitutional protections just as the rest of us are. They can also have their rights violated like the rest of us.
The ACLU regularly defends officers whose rights to free expression are denied or violated.
