Washington, DC | www.adc.org | August 29th, 2017 | On Saturday, September 23rd, ADC will be holding its Annual Civil Rights Luncheon. This event has traditionally served as the primary forum where convention attendees learn about the issues affecting their rights and the steps their government, and civil rights organizations, are taking to address civil rights and liberties, and immigrants’ rights in an informative and effective approach. ADC welcomes its members and friends to join us at 12:30pm on Saturday, in the Thurgood Marshall Ballroom of the Wardman Marriott. Our Keynote Speaker will be Vincent Warren from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR).
