Power List 2014: ANTHONY ROMERO

Executive Director, ACLU, 48

Romero defends Americans' individual freedoms through his work at the American Civil Liberties Union. Since he took control of the organization right before 9/11, the ACLU has launched the Keep America Safe and Free campaign and the John Adams Project. Romero has also been vocal in response to President Obama's changes to the NSA's surveillance programs, arguing that the government should stop collecting and retaining data on law-abiding citizens.
