Civil Rights Lobby Day 2026
It's sometimes hard to believe your voice matters when it feels like the whole world is shouting – especially when it comes to politics.
But here's the truth: Our elected officials need to hear more than just politicized talking points. They need to hear from you.
That's why we're inviting you to join us in Pierre on Thursday, February 19, for the ACLU's Civil Rights Lobby Day. An optional dinner reception will follow at 6 p.m.
Democracy is at its best when we show up together. Civil Rights Lobby Day is your chance to meet with lawmakers, influence critical legislation, and join a community of supporters dedicated to defending free speech, protecting our voting rights, advancing reproductive freedom, and advocating for juvenile justice.
If you think your voice doesn't matter, think again. We can build a stronger South Dakota, one conversation at a time. Your voice is your power.
If you have any questions please contact [email protected].
