Civil Liberties Discussion Series: FLDS Ranch Raid

Tuesday May 06 , 2008

Earlier this month, Texas authorities raided a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) ranch and took more than 400 children into state custody. As the custody hearings regarding these children continue, questions of the child, parental and religious rights implicated in the controversy continue to emerge. As part of the NYCLU's continuing Civil Liberties Discussion Series, Lisa Graybill of the ACLU of Texas will discuss the civil rights and civil liberties issues at play in FLDS case. Please join us Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. in our offices at 125 Broad Street on the 19th floor. Following the presentations, NYCLU staff will lead a discussion with the speakers and attendees. Pizza and drinks will be provided to get the discussion going. Please make sure to RSVP by sending an email to ebraudy@nyclu.org or calling 212-607-3361.
