Get Involved with the Palm Beach County
Chapter of the ACLU of Florida.
Help Advance Equality and Justice in Our Local Community.
Welcome to the Palm Beach County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. We invite you to become involved in actively protecting civil liberties in Palm Beach County, the State of Florida, and our nation.
Our Chapter Board meetings are generally held at 7pm on the second Wednesday of each month and are open to members and visitors. In person meetings have been suspended by order of the affiliate. Our meetings are now held on Zoom. If you would like to attend the meeting, please email pbc.aclu@gmail.com to get the Zoom URL.
We used to spend some time populating this page with information about local civil liberties issues, but have largely switched to doing that on our Facebook Groups page.
Please join us on our Facebook Groups page at Facebook.com/groups/pbchapterACLUFL
If you have any questions about how you can become involved in the Palm Beach County ACLU, please email us at pbc.aclu@gmail.com.
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them…
