We are delighted to welcome Tamar Gubins and Hari O'Connell to the ACLU of Northern California Technology and Civil Liberties Program.

She holds a B.A. from Oberlin College in Politics, and has spent time working in the financial and media research fields. Tamar joins the ACLU-NC with the support of the law firm of Goodwin Procter in New York City.
