A bi-annual conference, open to the entire membership, was instituted in the same year, and in later decades it became a pulpit for activist members, who suggested new directions for the ACLU, including abortion rights, death penalty, and rights of the poor.
对全体会员开放的会议，也在同年开始一年进行两次，并在以后的几十年中，它成为了一个为那些活动家们开设的讲坛，他们开展了美国公民自由联盟的新方向，包括堕胎权，死刑，和穷人的权利。
