Stand up for Freedom: ACLU College Freedom Tour

This Fall, the Tour kicks off with a stand-up comedy event in support of free speech and the Bill of Rights in Los Angeles, CA. In the style of "Comic Relief" and Amnesty International's "Free to Laugh," the show will feature comedy performances by top television and film comedians.

Following this big event, the Tour takes its comedy show to six college campuses around the country, holding meet-and-greet gatherings of interested students on each campus.

Stay tuned to our site for more details on the ACLU College Freedom Tour!

ACLU COLLEGE FREEDOM TOUR AND PSA CONTEST

This spring, the ACLU teamed up with Zilo Networks, which reaches more than six million college subscribers daily with its on-campus TV programming, to launch the ACLU College Tour. The year-long program includes the first-ever ACLU College PSA Contest, challenging college students across the country to create the best TV Public Service Announcement (PSA) on ACLU issues. The PSA Contest was judged on three equally weighted criteria: effectiveness, production technique and originality. Many thanks to all those students who participated!

 Our expert panel of judges included the ACLU's executive director Anthony Romero, as well as television/film professionals including Anne Foley, Showtime's executive vice president of East Coast programming; Joe Rogan, host of NBC's hit show Fear Factor; Richard Peña, director of The New York Film Festival; independent filmmaker Karen Covington, whose credits include "The Price of Memory" (2004) and the upcoming "African Alphabets;" and Jim McKay, director and producer of films such as "Everyday People" (2004) "Our Song" (2001) and "Girls Town" (1996).
