The American Civil Liberties Union recently hosted its annual Summer Advocacy Institute in Washington, D.C., for rising junior and senior high school students that will give students the tools they need to engage in their communities on issues around civil liberties and civil rights.
Brandon Lee from Wellington joined almost 1,000 students from every state in the country for the opportunity to receive first-hand experience from lawyers, lobbyists, community activists and other experts dedicated to defending these constitutional rights.
From July 20-26, participating students engaged with lawyers and political activists to build expertise and knowledge in advocacy on a wide array of issues, all while observing policy development on Capitol Hill.
