To educate the public about the ACLU's work in the defense of civil liberties, we create print and online advertising, interactive features, host audio chats and provide videos of speeches and press briefings.
To kick off its "Safe and Free" campaign in Ocober 2002, the ACLU began airing a 30-second television spot (transcript | video clip) — the group's first national television advertisement — that graphically illustrates how essential freedoms have been curtailed in the name of security since Sept. 11, 2001. RealOne Player, which is required to view the clip, can be downloaded for free from the Real.com website.
