Yesterday a few students, including myself, got the inimitable opportunity to sit down with the president of the ACLU, Deborah Archer, for a Q&A hosted by Rochester Institute of Technology and graciously moderated by Lauren Hall. Ms. Archer spoke to questions on how to stay calm amidst all the recent chaos, what we can do as citizens in various areas of work/study to support our communities, and much more. Following the Q&A Ms. Archer gave the keynote speech at RIT’s annual event “Expressions of King’s Legacy”. Here were my key take aways: ?? get involved with grassroots efforts in your area. “Small” victories are some of the most important (especially when times are tough). Find organizations near you that are working for the greater good and find ways to support them by donating or by lending your skills. ?? Organizations like the ACLU need more than just attorneys to do their important work! Accountants, data analysts, paralegals, HR professionals, and many more fields all work for the ACLU to support the cause. According to Ms. Archer, the number of non-lawyers outnumbers the number of attorneys. This means that you can find professional opportunities to support civil rights access regardless of your interest in studying law if those opportunities appeal you. ?? Appreciate the freedom you have every day and be sure to USE IT. Ms. Archer reminds us to ask each other, “what have you done with your freedom today?” Not only should we use it every day, we should be sure to work diligently to create a society that offers the future generations better lives, EVEN if you cannot see the results of your labors yet. Ms. Archer shared a quote with the audience to remind us that “we live in the shade of trees we did not plant, and drink from wells we did not dig.” It is imperative that we consider that although we may not see the fruits of all our labor, someday the next generations will. Overall, Ms. Archer gifted us a sense of calm that that we students had not felt in recent days. Her words affirmed that although times are scary, there is work we can do to fight against injustice. Further, there is work that has already begun at the ACLU. A particularly comforting fact that Ms. Archer shared with us was that the ACLU filed four lawsuits this week against various executive orders. Work is being done, and we are not powerless against what happens. Thank you to Ms. Archer and the wonderful people of RIT that worked so hard to make the event happen. I know myself and my fellow students are eternally grateful for the opportunity.
