July 21: National Lawyers Guild SF Bay Area Meeting re; What to Do if Federal Police Come to Oakland
Emergency NLG-SFBA Chapter Press Conference Today
NLG-SF Press Conference TOMORROW: Defending Our Rights to Protest in the Face of Federal Enforcement
The NLG-SFBA will oppose and actively resist Trump's unconstitutional calls to unleash federal agents in response to the Bay Area movement exercising its first amendment rights. This call is not only unconstitutional but a dangerous escalation towards fascism. For close to 100 years, the NLG has resisted violations of civil and human rights. We will continue defend movement organizations, social justice activists, and frontline communities targetted by the federal government. Join us tomorrow at 12 noon, for a press conference to hear from NLG lawyers and movement partners:
Walter Riley, NLG-SFBA Civil Rights Attorney
Sara Kershnar, Executive Director of NLG-SFBA
John Viola, NLG Mass Demonstrations Attorney
Leila Sayed-Taha, NLG-SFBA Board Member & Arab Resource and Organizing Center staff lawyer
These panelists will be joined by additional NLG members and movement partners.
