#LawStrikesBack in the courts and in the streets!
The National Lawyers Guild calls for courthouse demonstrations across the country on Friday February 17th in solidarity with the nationwide#GeneralStrike. Interested legal organizations, lawyers, law students, legal workers, paralegals, court interpreters, investigators, social service advocates, and others who work in the courts, and anyone interested are encouraged to participate in our funeral procession. We will deliver a coffin to figuratively bury the New Jim Crow, now under Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, to the Eagleton Federal Courthouse at 1 pm CST. At the Courthouse speakers will present on their issues and work.
There is an energy in the streets and in our profession to #Resist. This is an opportunity for the legal community to express our solidarity with the growing movements against the new regime and its white supremacist, nativist, xenophobic, patriarchal, and authoritarian agenda. Engage your local community! Invite speakers, make signs, and share with your legal colleagues and allies!
