Tasers and the Police: A Deadly Combination (.doc)
Tasers do not decrease the likelihood that police will use deadly force. In fact, tasers are deadly force. The Civil Liberties Center is working to educate the community about this commonly used compliance device. Check out our trifold in English (pdf) or in Spanish (pdf). Please feel free to reprint and distribute.

Ending the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act
The Civil Liberties Center is working with organizations across the country to abolish the November 27, 2006, Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (.doc) which may label citizens engaged in animal welfare issues who take direct action as "terrorists." Find out more about joining the Coalition to Abolish the AETA. We are working to educate the public about the travesties contained in laws like this one that repress free speech. Read about how this bill affects you. Check out our AETA trifold (pdf). Please feel free to reprint and distribute.
