The Palm Beach county Chapter 

Welcome to the official web page of the Palm Beach County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida!

Palm Beach County has the largest chapter in the ACLU of Florida. With approximately 3700 members and supporters, it is larger than many ACLU state affiliates. You can help determine what issues the ACLU should address and what actions we take. Only with people like you, serving as local watchdogs for the Bill of Rights, can the ACLU identify threats to civil liberties in local areas and speak out against them.

In order to successfully defend the constitutional values we cherish, the Palm Beach County Chapter needs people to represent the ACLU before the County and City commissions and the School Board. We need people who understand and appreciate the importance of the values of the Bill of Rights who are willing to talk to students and community groups, write legislators, and watch and respond to the "letters-to-the-editor" column. With your help, we can ensure an active presence for the ACLU.

We hope you will consider becoming involved in the Palm Beach County ACLU.

If you have any questions about how you can become involved in the Palm Beach ACLU, please feel free to contact chapter President,  John Pauly, at: pbcaclu@comcast.net .
