\u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel like a breaking ceiling,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s freedom and being lost when you\u2019re the first. \u2026 In some ways, you\u2019re free because you get to make it up. You have to have a good team around you to bounce ideas off of so that you know that you\u2019re making better choices. And in another way, it\u2019s a great abyss because your experience in the role will not match up with history. You have to build your own compass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brennan\u2019s compass has been pointing in new and exciting directions since she started the job. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work to do,\u201d she said. \u201cThe day-to-day is endlessly learning new things and refusing to be intimidated by them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The role of the ACLU<\/h3>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union is a nonpartisan organization that seeks to safeguard civil liberties and civil rights for all. People may be most familiar with the group\u2019s legal arm, which was long brought court cases that have defined the scope of Americans\u2019 constitutional rights. But the ACLU does essential work outside of the courtroom, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re doing it right, at any given ACLU across the United States, you\u2019ll find a depth of community engagement. Another piece is advocacy. The third piece is legal intervention,\u201d Brennan said.<\/p>\n

For Brennan, those tenets mean meeting with constituencies across Wisconsin to determine the problems, lobbying legislators to drop bad bills or shape them to have more just outcomes, and using legal action to secure the best outcome for the individuals or groups they represent.<\/p>\n

In particular, the Wisconsin affiliate of the ACLU is focused on reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, carceral reform, immigration, and environmental justice.<\/p>\n

Many of these issues seem to fall to one side of the political spectrum or the other, but the ACLU is a nonpartisan organization. Brennan wants to ensure her team protects the civil liberties and civil rights of all Wisconsinites, no matter their voting record. And, she added, many of the issues the ACLU of Wisconsin strives to address are nonpartisan, despite how many have tried to color the issues.<\/p>\n

\u201c(For example), there are lots of people who feel very strongly that books should not be banned in schools. To say otherwise is to try and stop people from being able to make up their own minds about what they believe in and how they want to live their lives,\u201d Brennan explained. \u201cQuality education with the freedom to be able to read and think for yourself is actually not a partisan issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a leader<\/h3>\n

Brennan\u2019s first year as executive director has been a busy one. She\u2019s made several changes to the organization, starting with building a bigger team. Among them is another 51ÁÔÆæ student and alum: Brennan highlighted the work of her community engagement director Justice Grau<\/a>, who is working toward her Master\u2019s in Community Engagement and Education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work to do. It needs many hands, so people are less fatigued by it,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cThat (also) means putting community engagement at the center of our work. Community engagement should be the beating heart of the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brennan wants to work with community members and partner nonprofits to understand local communities\u2019 needs. Community engagement also means informing people about their choices in upcoming elections and giving them information about their voting options, or bolstering other organizations that can provide direct support to individuals in need. Brennan has also been excited to see the return of the Legal Observer training program and Know-YourRights trainings, which the ACLU of Wisconsin had to pause during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also challenging how her staff approaches their work by asking them to approach civil liberties and civil rights intersectionally, rather than separably.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy intervention at the ACLU of Wisconsin has been to resist what is called \u2018bucketing.\u2019 That\u2019s thinking of an issue as a singular, separable thing,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to talk about reproductive justice, you should be talking about what that looks like if you\u2019re incarcerated as well. You can\u2019t take about racial justice without talking about economic justice. \u2026 And if you do, you unfortunately leave out critical pieces you should address.\u201d<\/p>\n

That aligns with her emphasis on a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Even the ACLU of Wisconsin has work to do, she said, in making sure they \u201cwalk the walk\u201d even as they \u201ctalk the talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

A local understanding<\/h3>\n

Brennan is a Wisconsinite. She grew up in Port Washington, a second-generation Mexican-American and a queer woman with multiple disabilities who majored in women\u2019s and gender studies at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when I took my first WGS course, and my teacher was Dr. Cheryl Kader, who has since retired. I was in that class, and I thought, I want to do what she\u2019s doing,\u201d Brennan recalled.<\/p>\n

Kader facilitated thoughtful discussions between her students, who came from very different backgrounds with equally different political beliefs. Brennan credits that class with setting her on her path \u2013 first toward a Master\u2019s in sociology from 51ÁÔÆæ, then a PhD in gender studies from Indiana University, and then as a faculty member at SUNY Oneonta, where she spent four years building the Women\u2019s Studies Department.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Brennan and her partner moved back to Milwaukee to be closer to family. Brennan briefly returned to 51ÁÔÆæ as a program administrator for the WGS program before mentors and friends urged her to apply to the ACLU of Wisconsin. The executive directorship had just opened up.<\/p>\n

Now, she works every day to implement the lessons she learned at 51ÁÔÆæ to help the ACLU of Wisconsin further its work.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be able to learn from anything or anyone, whether you learn what they intend or not \u2026 and you\u2019ll be better for it,\u201d she said. \u201cCritical thinking is crucial for having a well-lived life, and that means considering the beliefs you were raised with.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, she and her team are gearing up for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race in April and continuing their work in community engagement.<\/p>\n

Brennan smiles and sighs as she contemplates the months ahead. \u201cSo, we\u2019d better get to work then.\u201d<\/p>\n
