Defending everyone's rights and freedoms.

Join the ACLU for Coffee & Conversations in Vermillion! This is your chance to socialize with other ACLU supporters, learn how our mission is changing South Dakota, and create protest signs for the upcoming No Kings rally. While we’ll share a bit about our upcoming priorities, we want to hear from you and learn more about the issues you care about most. Change happens in our state when we talk to each other and share our ideas. So let's grab a coffee together and discuss the change that we would like to see. We'll provide the brewed coffee and snacks. We hope you can make it!
