Through this partnership with the Boston Public Library and our public education campaigns, we want voters to know: Our key civil liberties are on the ballot this fall, and we must all make our voices heard at the ballot box.
About one month before Massachusetts’ primary election, the “Know Your Sheriff” campaign—a statewide voter education initiative launched by the ACLU of Massachusetts—has published questionnaire responses from sheriff candidates and incumbents.
The ACLU of Massachusetts, together with law firm Goodwin Procter LLP, filed a civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the family of Shayne Stilphen for his wrongful death while in the custody of the Boston Police Department.
After a recent poll showed just 17% of Massachusetts voters can correctly name their local sheriff, the ACLU has released a new digital tool to help voters learn about their sheriff.
Through community events and voter outreach, the new “Know Your Sheriff” campaign seeks to build public awareness of the life-changing decisions that sheriffs make, and how voters can move sheriffs to make communities safer and more just for all.
