  • I love the ACLU community! I've met so many dedicated, thoughtful, and engaged people through the Stanford ACLU, and this club helps me feel like change is possible at Stanford and in the world. Making the Civil Libertrees podcast with the media team has been a highlight of my Stanford experience — it has connected me with incredible people in the club and accomplished activists and professors in our community.

  • I originally joined Stanford ACLU because I wanted to continue the advocacy work I started in high school. After joining, I found my favorite thing about our club is the incredible community. Everyone is so kind and encouraging. I am excited to take the knowledge I gained last year and participate more actively in the ACLU’s Podcast, Civil Libertrees!

Estefany Mendoza Rodriguez

  • One of my favorite things about Stanford ACLU is the tight-knit community that we have. Every week we come together towards a common goal and with a shared passion for people and making the world a better place. I am excited to meet new members of the Stanford ACLU and to see what we can achieve together throughout the year!

Class of 2026 | Public Policy

Adam Golomb

  • If you're looking to actively engage with the civil rights and liberties of the nearby Bay Area and Stanford campus, then ACLU is the place! "Be the change you want to see" and such. Also we have a lit community and awesome discussions and sometimes sell quesadillas. If any of that speaks to you, I urge you to lightly jog your way to one of our meetings.

Stanford Undergraduate Law Review

Shelby Boulware-Johnson

Class of 2027 | Symbolic Systems | she/her

  • At Stanford ACLU, I am most excited to lead a committee that is centered upon educating our community and making people aware of their rights. I am looking forward to using the platform that ACLU provides us as students and community members to impact our broader community through canvassing events, teach-ins and workshops.

Claudia Sung

  • I'm excited to grow SULR and our team this year! We hope to be a home for undergraduate scholarship on law at Stanford's campus.

Class of 2026 | History | she/her

Gabriel Frank-McPheter

Class of 2026 | Urban Studies | he/they

  • I’m so excited for the momentum with which Stanford ACLU is entering this next academic year. We’ve made important progress fighting for free speech on campus, and have so much more to fight for in the next few months. That’s especially true given that this November, civil liberties are on the ballot, from local school board races or housing bonds, to the historic presidential election- I’m so excited to work with ACLU to get out there advocating, collaborating, and canvassing, and through SULR, educating.

Kaden Nguyen

Marketing Chair

  • My favorite thing about Stanford ACLU has to be the incredible sense of community and camaraderie that we have with each other! The work that we do is made even more rewarding by the awesome people we are surrounded by who foster an environment that is unsurpassed in its support and positive vibes.

Class of 2025 | Psychology | any/all pronouns

  • Stanford ACLU has been my home at Stanford for the last 3 years, and I'm so excited to serve on the board again for my final year as an undergraduate. Stanford ACLU drew me in because of it's commitment to ceaselessly fighting for human rights and liberties, but I stayed because of the people I met and the things I got to do to help make this world a little more livable.

  • Stanford ACLU is a wonderful environment where I get to connect with my community to enact social change. I love working with my peers on issues that matter to the Stanford community, and around the world. ACLU also gives me a safe space to express myself and explore my passion for social justice. I also have the great opportunity to learn more about what it means to be an informed and active citizen, especially when it comes to current events.
