Membership

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 civil liberties issues in local areas and speak out against them.

We hope you will consider coming to Palm Beach ACLU meetings or possibly serving as a member of the Palm Beach Chapter Board of Directors.

Meetings

The ACLU Palm Beach Chapter Board meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the West Palm Beach Public Library, 411 Clematis St, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. For further information about the meetings, please contact chapter President,  Marcia Hayden, at: pbcaclu@comcast.net . Members are welcome to attend.
