Bernie Madoff Swindle Affects ACLU
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 @ 3:29 pm | We Think
The Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme of $50 Billion has adversely affected two foundations that have been generous, longstanding supporters of the national security and reproductive freedom work performed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The two foundations have been damaged by the Madoff scandal — forced to close their doors and terminate their grants.
According to Alma Montclair, Director of Administration and Finance for the ACLU $850, 000 from the two now terminated grants will not be received in 2009. Despite the bad news, Montclair says the good news is the organization is committed to continuing their critical work in the areas of national security and reproductive freedom because people are depending on the ACLU to help protect their rights. Basically the ACLU needs money and they are hoping you and your friends and family can help them to help us stay free by making a donation by year’s end.
If you are unfamiliar with the work done by the American Civil Liberties Union take a look at this informative video.
