FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: Robert Doody, ACLU of South Dakota, (605) 332-2508 rdoody@aclu.org
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- The American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota has expanded recently after opening an office in Sioux Falls only two years ago. Since launching in 2008, two additional full-time staff members have been added to fill the roles of staff attorney and program coordinator. Within the past three months, the ACLU of South Dakota has revamped their website, created an email messaging campaign to directly contact South Dakota members, and begun several programming and advocacy initiatives. The staff also moved into a larger office space to accommodate the additional work and resources that are being brought into the state by the National ACLU and local donors.
Executive Director Robert Doody is pleased with the quick expansion, and has high hopes for the following years. "I'm delighted to know that South Dakota is the fastest growing National ACLU Chapter. There is much work to be done in this state, protecting civil liberties from governmental intrusion and ensuring constitutional rights are maintained at the state and local level." |
