Actor & Comedian
FOLLOW
The original captain of the Starship Enterprise, William Shatner has been a TV idol and Hollywood iconoclast for more than 50 years. The Canadian actor, singer, author, comedian, and spoken word performer became a cultural icon in the ‘60s for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in Gene Roddenberry’s original Star Trek series. With a famous staccato delivery, William took popular science fiction where no man has gone before. He has appeared in over 20 films including Miss Congeniality and Dodgeball as well as seven Star Trek movies. More recently he appeared as attorney Denny Crane in the ABC drama Boston Legal for which he won two Emmys and a Golden Globe Award. Throughout his career, William has remained a major supporter of charitable organizations. In 2006, he sold his kidney stone for $25,000 to benefit Habitat for Humanity.
ACLU of Southern California
William Shatner Supports
ACLU of Southern California
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defends the fundamental rights outlined in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These include the right to freedom of speech and assembly, the right to religious freedom, due process of law, equality before the law, and the right to privacy. The ACLU of Southern California affiliate has led the charge in some of the most critical events in our nation’s history including advocating for the thousands of interned innocent Japanese Americans during World War II, an unflinching support of Americans' First Amendment rights during the McCarthy era, staunch opposition to the Vietnam War, encouraging Nixon's impeachment, and establishing the concept of an Economic Bill of Rights. We continue to advocate for no less than a nation that lives up to its promise of liberty and justice for all. Stand for justice.
