STAND!
Stand for the things you know are right . . .
Stand, in the end, you'll still be you . . .
Stand, you've been sitting much too long . , ,
Stand, they will try to make you crawl , , ,
Stand, there's a midget standing tall , , ,
And a giant beside him about to fall.

Garrett Morgan invented a breathing apparatus for firefighters when workers were trapped in a tunnel fire in 1916.
Garrett was the only one brave enough to enter in with his invention.
He saved the lives of every man.

It's been quite year here in the District 😅 The ACLU-D.C. will be taking some time to rest, relax, and prepare for an even bigger year ahead.
In the meantime, we'll be looking back on the busy year we've had and sharing some 2025 highlights.
