Mr. ACLU of Central Massachusetts



As some of you might know already, Ron Madnick is now longer employed by the ACLU of Massachusetts. He has been and still is a member of the ACLUM  Worcester Chapter since the early '60s. I remember one time in the '70s the International Committee Against Racism (InCAR) planned a sit in at the School Committee meeting. Ron called us up and said he would be an observer for the ACLUM.


Ron has been the Executive Director for the Worcester Chapter sine the '70s. A letter from Ron would make many of the government bosses rethink their policies. He has fought to make the police accountable for their misconduct. He has led in many ways the efforts to make Worcester a better and welcoming place for all. 


Ron told me the story of how the editors of the Worcester Telegram would nash their teeth everytime he walked into their building. I am sure that the Manager, Police Chief, and Sheriff did the same.


In October 2011 at the Annual Worcester Chapter of ACLUM dinner. We will honor Ron for his lifetime of good work for civil liberties and social justice.  The event is free, but the dinner is not. So come and give Ron the shout out he deserves.
