It's a good idea to keep a lawyer's number on a slip of paper and bring it to protests just in case. If you get arrested at a protest and need to call a lawyer, you can call us at 438-367-3376!

Il est judicieux de noter le numéro d'un avocat sur un bout de papier et de l'emporter avec vous lors des manifestations, au cas où. Si vous êtes arrêté lors d'une manifestation et que vous avez besoin d'appeler un avocat, vous pouvez nous contacter au 438-367-3376!

Our clinic has seen an increase of use of tear gas and pepper spray by the SPVM at peaceful protests. It has sadly become routine, particularly at protests by marginalized communities.

A huge victory for the planet, for the future, and led by the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change.

Neither the judge nor the journalist have their facts straight about Michèle's involvement in the bridge action. One small point for the record. The bigger point lost in this trial is the violence, destruction & death perpetrated by fossil fuel companies.
