Request a Speaker

Due to the current spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and limited staff capacity, only a limited number of virtual requests and even fewer in-person requests will be fulfilled until June 31, 2021, during which we will reevaluate this policy. Please fill out the form below, and we will respond to requests in the order in which we receive them. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

NOTE: We are hosting several virtual webinars and trainings over the course of the next few months – make sure to sign up for our emails in order to receive more information about our upcoming virtual events!

The ACLU of Ohio's Speakers Bureau provides speakers to over one hundred community groups, schools, and professional organizations across the state each year. Our speakers consist of (former and current) members of the ACLU staff, board of directors, and Action Teams; faculty at law schools and universities; and other civil liberties experts and activists.

We can present on the following topics:

Please note: Due to increased demand, we require three weeks' notice and an audience of at least 25 participants to schedule a speaker. For smaller events and house parties, we can send ACLU handouts and materials for you to share. Other events may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

To request a speaker, please fill out our web form below.

ACLU Speakers are available to your group at no charge. If your budget includes an honorarium, we would gladly accept that to offset the costs of our Speakers Bureau.
