The ACLU of Illinois’ Executive Director Colleen Connell was on WTTW’s Chicago Tonight discussing the recent compromise by the Obama administration to ensure that employees of religiously affiliated institutions get contraceptive coverage at no additional cost to them, without requiring religiously-affiliated non-profit employers to pay for the cost of the contraceptive coverage. The ACLU of Illinois has been holding panel discussions about the contraception issue throughout Illinois, entitled “The War on Contraception” as part of our Defending the Targets of Intolerance campaign.






The ACLU fights for our rights and our dignity. They do the things that I don't have the time, energy, or power to do on my own. United within the ACLU, we are stronger than working alone.
