The ACLU of Washington has many wonderful interns who assist with our work. We would like you to meet some of them.
After 9-11, Angela Langer became increasingly worried about assaults on civil liberties and the Constitution, and noticed the ACLU fighting back. Now, as a busy Seattle University law student she has joined this ongoing battle with us as a Policy Advocacy Group intern. She has always been fascinated by issues relating to the Constitution and the violation of rights, and is excited to do some hands-on work with them.
She has researched and lobbied for a bill (EHB 2789) in Olympia on drone use by government agencies. The measure would create a statewide framework for reasonable regulations and would prevent agencies from using drones for suspicionless searches and fishing expeditions. The bill has now passed legislature, and she hopes the Governor will sign it into law because “without it there would be no regulation at all – it is important to protect what privacy we have left.”
Angela also has researched a proposed program to survey potentially impaired drivers, again looking to ensure that privacy is protected. When she is not working to defend civil liberties with the ACLU, Angela works for a Ballard law firm, the Ivy Law Group, and is also an Article Editor for the Seattle Journal for Social Justice. This summer, she will be heading to Washington DC for a program through SU where she will take classes and do an internship. In her very rare free time, she hangs out with her dog Frank and her friends, and tries to get in some reading that wasn’t assigned for school.
