The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut is saddened to learn of the passing of George Hastings, a champion of civil liberties and longtime ACLU-CT board member, who died on Friday, January 27. George was a steadfast ACLU-CT supporter, public servant, and outdoorsman who served as president of the Center for First Amendment Rights before it merged into the ACLU-CT. The ACLU-CT will deeply miss his thoughtful legal insights, and we are grateful for his years of service to civil liberties in the Constitution State. The entire ACLU-CT family extends our heartfelt sympathies to his wife, Laura, and their children and grandchildren.
