Tl/Dr: The ACLU will be asked to defend people that they disagree with. Heres what to do in that situation
1. Make sure the case has merit and is worth the time (no violence-with a pretty low bar no direct threats and no carrying weapons, is it winnable,is there an ally that can do a better job etc.)
2. Set up a meeting with the relevant internal group to make a battle plan (eg defend a Klan member, talk with civil rights department)
3. Give resources to conflicted department (eg use restitution from above to fund a civil rights campaign)
4. Inform everyone we disagree with what the client says, but we defend his right to say it. |
