The ACLU of Illinois is working hard to protect free speech during the NATO
Summit protests.

*Do you know your rights?*
*LEARN MORE*<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ad73a627b31e8106d86f3e279693d58548ecdd12f47891171454d85eea24b8b>
Dear Friend of the ACLU,

*After all the preparations, trainings and volunteer recruitment, Chicago
will be in the world spotlight as it hosts the NATO summit this
weekend. *Thousands
from across the nation – and around the globe – are expected to exercise
their freedom to assemble peacefully and express themselves during the
summit.

The ACLU of Illinois has developed a wide variety of resources to help
ensure freedom of speech and assembly. First, and most visibly, we are
deploying trained observers at many of the rallies and marches to deter,
and record, potential violations of civil liberties by the police and other
authorities.

We also are working hard to ensure that demonstrators are aware of all
their rights under the First Amendment, and how to protest safely and
legally in the City of Chicago. We've produced an extensive report on the
right to protest in
Chicago<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ad73a627b31e810cfd23864863fdbbb2ac75944362ca5b62fe08af36a2bd320>,
and set up a mobile website
(rights.aclu-il.org<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ad73a627b31e810578e0cef153f7f58ee3196a675412fd777203521f156b3c4>)
to answer questions on-the-go. We'll have a hotline for folks to call if
their rights are violated – text or call: 773-270-ACLU (2258) – and we'll
be handing out "know your rights" information all weekend.

We've been working behind the scenes too, fighting in court to defend the
first amendment right to record police
officers<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ad73a627b31e810624016b8e71fbbdf03cc9b30214bcbc7857969128b3760c4>doing
their public duty.

*The ACLU's commitment to the First Amendment is absolute - we defend it no
matter who wishes to speak, or what the message is.* This week, while the
eyes of the world are on Chicago, we'll be taking that defense to the
streets. Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,
