American Civil Liberties Union

For Jay A. Miller, the ACLU was his life — not just a career. Working for fairness and justice was woven into Jay’s DNA — he lived, breathed and embodied civil liberties. A one-time union organizer who organized his first strike at his father's soda pop company, Jay became a powerful voice for the American Civil Liberties Union. He died at age 83 on January 3.
