Hutchinson NAACP
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Chapter of the NAACP will host Dr. Micah Kubic on Thursday evening, March 7th, 2024 as their featured speaker. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of the HutchCC Student Union. Dr. Kubic is the Executive Director of the ACLU of Kansas (American Civil Liberties Union).
The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the civil rights and liberties of all people living in Kansas. They work in the state legislature, the courts, and local communities to ensure that those who threaten the civil liberties of Kansans are met with stark resistance. They work for policy change to expand and strengthen civil liberties, provide legal counsel, and act as an ally and an advocate for people who are denied the rights guaranteed to them by the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
It is their mission to protect and defend the constitutional rights and civil liberties of every individual in Kansas regardless of creed, race, religion, gender identification, or class. Our efforts are focused on serving and defending reproductive rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, First Amendment rights, immigrant rights, voting rights, criminal justice reform, and privacy rights.
The ACLU of Kansas protects the civil rights of segments of our population that have traditionally been marginalized, including women, people of color, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender and queer, people, currently and formerly incarcerated people, people with disabilities, immigrants, and the poor. They defend the freedoms of all residents of Kansas without consideration of political partisanship.
If you have not heard Dr. Micah Kubic, now is the time. The Hutchinson Chapter of the NAACP meets once a month, on the first Thursday of each month. Everyone is invited. Our meetings are open to all. There is also plenty of opportunity to get involved and help make an impact on our community.
