  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • Des Moines Attorney Dan Johnston Named 2014 Louise Noun Award Winner
    505 Fifth Ave. Suite 901, Des Moines, Iowa 50309 www.aclu-ia.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 27, 2014 Des Moines Attorney Dan Johnston Named 2014 Louise Noun Award Winner (Des Moines, IA) - The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Iowa is proud to announce that the 2014 Louise Noun Award will be presented to Dan L. Johnston. The Noun award is named after Louise Noun, the distinguished Des Moines activist, philanthropist and former president of the ACLU of Iowa Board of Directors. It is given to those who have made significant contributions or displayed uncommon courage on behalf of civil liberties in the state. Dan Johnston richly fits that description. Johnston has a long and impressive legacy in civil rights and constitutional law. Currently Of Counsel with the Des Moines law firm of Glazebook, Moe, Johnston, and Hurd, Johnston has served as the Polk County attorney, as a state legislator, and an ACLU of Iowa staff attorney and member of the ACLU national board. However, it was his role as legal counsel in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, Tinker v. the Des Moines Independent School District in 1969 that earned him a place in the free speech and constitutional law history books. That case upheld the right of Des Moines students who wore black armbands to support a ceasefire in the Vietnam War and were suspended from school. The decision blazed the path for increased student free speech for decades to come. Through all his work, Johnston has been a steadfast supporter of criminal justice reform with an eye to defending those who are least able to defend themselves.

  • Think Like Alexander Clark
    Think Like Alexander Clark • What are ways that being the son of a formerly enslaved person might have impacted Clark’s life? • Why do you think Clark thought it was unfair that his daughter could not attend her local school? Why would he want statewide change? • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) that schools could not be segregated by race. Iowa schools had been desegregated for 86 years. How do you think Iowans reacted? • The Clark case, Clark v. Board of Directors, was used as an example during the Brown v. Board of Education case. Why would lawyers use past cases to argue for current legislation? Alexander Clark (1826-1891) Born in Pennsylvania in 1826 as the son of a formerly-enslaved person, Clark was encouraged to pursue an education. When he was 16, he moved to Bloomington (now Muscatine) and opened a barber shop. He petitioned to repeal discriminatory laws and organized the first unit of African-American soldiers to fight in the Civil War. In 1867, the Muscatine school board said Clark’s daughter, Susan, could not attend the same public school as white children. Clark sued and in 1868, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled in his favor, stating all children could attend a common school. Clark also was instrumental in having the word “white” struck from the Iowa Constitution so all men could vote. His son became the first African American to graduate from the University of Iowa’s law school, and Clark himself graduated five years later. Clark was appointed U.S.

This study looks at a unique defense of same- sex couples as parents, from the children currently being raised by them. Including three prominent texts and seventeen different voices, an analysis was completed to understand what defense strategies children use as advocates for their parents’ right to marriage and to be a family. The method of study included completing a genre criticism through close textual analysis of the texts. In particular, the genre of apologia was studied.
