A statement from the guild said: “In the three weeks since Donald Trump has taken office, we have seen a flurry of executive orders targeting immigrants and intensifying law enforcement; racist, unqualified millionaires appointed to the nation’s highest positions; assaults on the press and ‘alternative facts’ presented as truth. However, we have also witnessed communities engaging in profound organizing and direct action — from the streets to airports and schools — to reject the current administration and disrupt business as usual. On Feb. 17, we’re taking the resistance to courthouses.”
The National Lawyers Guild is organizing a day of action for the legal community to show solidarity in the fight against the new regime.
Join us on the steps of Newark City Hall (920 Broad Street) in coordination with the nationwide #GeneralStrike.
