Party for a Purpose: ACLU Maryland New Year Happy Hour
You're invited.
The ACLU of Maryland board of directors is hosting a celebration to honor the work ACLU-MD achieved in 2025 and how we plan to carry these successes into 2026. Join us for a fun evening of laughs, libations, and legislative action.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, January 6, 5 – 8 p.m., at Waverly Brewing Company.
Party for a Purpose is your opportunity to chat with local activists and ACLU-MD board members, supporters, and staffers, as we all take a break before we tackle the 2026 legislative session together – and have some fun at the same time!
Tickets are $10 each and will get you admission to the happy hour. (Drinks must be purchased separately at Waverly Brewing Company.)
This is an exclusive event, but we've already added you to the VIP list. All you need to do now, like we always do in Maryland, is show up.
