BCCLA’s Current Work

In most years the BCCLA participates in more than 40 public events and workshops, is involved in more than 30 active court cases, provides direct assistance to hundreds of individuals, and creates and distributes educational resources for thousands. We are always working on a broad range of civil liberties issues, from police accountability to fighting indefinite solitary confinement in prisons.

Here are just a few of the highest profile issues we are currently working on.
