Legally Defending

Legal Solidarity

"Legal Solidarity is a strategy that uses collective group action to protect people when they are being held in the legal system. Jails and courts are designed to make people feel powerless. By using solidarity tactics – making legal decisions as a group, acting in unity with each other, and committing yourselves to safeguarding every arrestee's interests – you can gain more control over what happens to you in the jails and courts. Legal Solidarity has been used effectively for decades in the civil rights, peace, environmental, and global justice movements."
