Night of 1,000 Conversations
September 25, 2008
Nationwide
This summer thousands of people from across the country will gather in homes, offices, coffee shops, and places of worship to discuss how the overreach of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is undermining the civil liberties and human rights of people living in America

What Kind of Violations? Warrantless and aggressive raids on homes and workplaces Inhumane detention conditions A huge backlog in citizenship applications caused partly by DHS’ practice of targeting people of certain nationalities for extra security checks Goals Raise awareness and educate people about what’s going on in our own backyard Engage people to reassert this country’s democratic principles Build power at the grassroots level to effect changes in DHS policies
