The @nlgnews.bsky.social is receiving more and more verified reports of federal agent door-knocks and contacts. If you are approached by federal law enforcement, don’t be afraid to alert your community, and remember:
National Lawyers Guild Federal Defense Hotline: (212) 679-2811 If you are approached by federal law enforcement, call NLG's federal defense hotline! Remember: - You do not have to let cops into your house without a warrant. - You have no obligation to speak to or answer their questions. It can be dangerous to do so. - Say: "I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer. Please leave your name and number, and a lawyer will call you."

Our friends at Justice For Migrant Families of WNY are looking for volunteers to help with their Books For All! program dedicated to sending reading materials to community members detained by ICE in Batavia. It also supports a local bookstore!
There is a JFMF monarch butterfly logo up top and the rest is mostly text with an orange background and a picture of some books at the side. Here's the text: "BOOKS FOR ALL! Support local, build solidarity Volunteers needed! While we struggle towards shutting down ICE's cages, folks held in Batavia - the only federal prison dedicated to locking up immigrants in New York - struggle through the tedium of months or years of incarceration. Books can help! By buying through bookshop.org, you can get books into the hands of people who need them while all profits go to the local bookstore of your choice! SIGN UP TO BE PART OF THE BOOKS FOR ALL PROGRAM OR ASK QUESTIONS AT VOLUNTEER@JFMFWNY.org"
