As the war on terrorism drags on, Americans continue to worry about safety versus freedom, privacy versus the need for surveillance, cold facts versus innuendo. If our Civil Liberties are being eroded, how much is tolerable or even necessary? Where is the balance? Where is the control? Come to hear Ed Yohnka talk about his work within one of the most respected organizations that serves as guardian of our civil liberties.
Edwin C. Yohnka is the Director of Communications for the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois and as its primary spokesperson appears regularly on television, radio and other media to speak out on issues ranging from racial profiling and the inequities of the criminal justice system to matters relating to religious liberty and Internet privacy. He edits The Illinois Brief, the ACLU flagship publication. From 1987 until 1999, Yohnka served on the staff of the American Bar Association, spending most of that time as a Special Presidential Assistant in the ABA's Office of the President. He currently serves on the Human Subjects Review Committee for the American Bar Foundation.
