With any upsurge in social justice organizing in the U.S. there will be a corollary upsurge of FBI intervention against activists and organizers. If the FBI comes to your door, you may feel scared, anxious, or pressured to answer their questions about your activities or those of your friends or neighbors. Read this short, quick reference guide to responding in that situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f170c6655176d10e0aad835/1595431687052-8VZN4XK2J1Z0C1APYBKF/people-over-pipelines-960x560.jpg Home - Our Litigation Makes a Difference The Center for Protest Law and Litigation was launched by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund to bring a nationally coordinated and strategic fightback against the attacks on democracy and fundamental civil rights and liberties. For more than 25 years, we have been leaders in bringing high impact, landmark civil rights and First Amendment litigation. Our work has forced systemic changes in law and policy governing police conduct. We have won groundbreaking cases enforcing constitutional rights. This transformative work is carried out in partnership with those most affected, centering the social and political demands of communities and activists that are the subject of the repression underlying the litigation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f170c6655176d10e0aad835/1616081670513-EF7US60QTQF2T5HCP91T/200606-lincoln-memorial-washington-al-1346_f34c072581be86f1c286aed3235354c3.fit-760w.jpg Home - A Turning Point in the Defense of Democracy, Free Speech & Protest: We Can Win This Fight Now more than ever, the movements for racial, environmental and social justice are making the change society urgently needs and that our lives depend on. Millions of people are coming together, acting together. But these movements are facing unprecedented attack and grave threats. This is a fight for the kind of world we leave to the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f170c6655176d10e0aad835/1595876010147-D8ROG0K8E49D1MKL775A/brooklyn-bridge-ows.jpg Home - Join us as a Supporter and Sustainer Never has the need been greater.

Front-line activists expressing peaceful opposition to Enbridge Corporation's pipeline corridor through untouched wetlands and the treaty territory of Anishinaabe peoples are facing arrest and deprivation of constitutional rights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f170c6655176d10e0aad835/1613154858313-GMPXWYFE0YB8F8YVIJEB/enbridgepipelinemarker.jpg Line 3 Rapid Response - Communities need support In addition to providing support for legal defense, the CPLL is also affirmatively challenging unconstitutional official and police efforts to deprive front-line activists, including Indigenous water protectors and non-native supporters, of their fundamental First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly, free speech, community educational activities, and religious practices. Basic First Amendment rights are being deprived at the whim and direction of entities and officials, armed with the power of the state, serving essentially as private security of a private corporation whose profit interests lie in suppressing opposition to their activities. We must come together to defend front-line activists and Indigenous communities against these powerful and corrupt interests. https://www.protestlaw.org/thankyou daily 0.75 2021-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f170c6655176d10e0aad835/1613156278909-KR36C9K63QLFD3A05CCE/200606-lincoln-memorial-washington-al-1346_f34c072581be86f1c286aed3235354c3.fit-760w.jpg Thank you for your Donation - Thanks to your support we are able to continue this work in defending and advancing constitutional rights and civil liberties.
