"We are talking about a conditions-of-confinement issue," said Muhammad's attorney, Lauren Regan, director of litigation and advocacy at the Civil Liberties Defense Center. The group advocates for civil liberties for political prisoners and took on Muhammad's case last month. "Malik is designated 100 percent disabled as a combat veteran because of extreme PTSD. And the Department of Corrections knows that."
L'instrumentalisation du système juridique : Le cas contre les 4 de Floride
Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, stated, "It is deeply unjust that these social justice activists have been used as political pawns in the highly contentious national fight over abortion and access to reproductive health care —and under Joe Biden's Department of Justice."

Nouvelles du campement de Newark : réclamations contradictoires concernant l'activité policière
Selon le Centre de défense des libertés civiles, un observateur juridique Il s'agit d'une personne ayant suivi une formation, souvent un étudiant en droit ou un professionnel du droit, dont le rôle est de surveiller les interactions lors des manifestations afin de fournir un compte rendu fiable des événements et de veiller à ce que les forces de l'ordre rendent des comptes. En général, les observateurs juridiques portent également des vêtements distinctifs permettant d'identifier leur statut.
Lauren Regan, de l'organisation Centre de défense des libertés civiles permettra de sensibiliser davantage le public à la nécessité de protéger juridiquement les militants tout en luttant contre les injustices systémiques.
3 Atlanta activists are arrested after their fund bailed out protesters of 'Cop City'
Lauren Regan, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, called the arrests an "extreme provocation" in a statement.
"Bailing out protestors who exercise their constitutionally protected rights is simply not a crime," Regan said. "In fact, it is a historically grounded tradition in the very same social and political movements that the city of Atlanta prides itself on. Someone had to bail out civil rights activists in the 60's — I think we can all agree that community support isn't a crime,"
Assassinated in cold blood': activist killed protesting Georgia's 'Cop City'
Police raids on the forest intensified until 14 December, when a half-dozen "forest defenders" were arrested and charged with "domestic terrorism" under state law – another unprecedented development in US environmental activism, said Lauren Regan.
Une nouvelle loi en Oregon pourrait cibler les militants écologistes comme des terroristes
Advocates in Oregon have pointed to other events in Georgia as an example of the ways in which a domestic terrorism bill could be used to target protesters. Georgia lawmakers first expanded the state's definition of domestic terrorism in 2017 to include crimes committed with the intent to "alter, change, or coerce the policy of the government."
There was a stated reason for why the [Georgia] law was passed — to target mass shootings," said Sarah Alvarez, a staff attorney with the Civil Liberties Defense Center. "Now it's being twisted to apply to environmental protesters who haven't harmed anyone. That is the concern that I have when I look at the Oregon bill."
"It's just this incredibly short-sighted fix," Alvarez said of the paramilitary bill. "I applaud them for wanting to try to make fixes, but it just doesn't seem to take into account the reality of what people experience on the ground."
CLDC attorneys argue the blanket curfew was unconstitutional because it was not narrowly tailored with ample alternatives for free expression, was overbroad, and that "no reasonable officer could believe there was probable cause for arrest."
Anti-riot laws aren't about curbing violence—they're about stifling civil dissent
Si les nouvelles lois accroissent les risques pour les manifestants, Regan estime que la mise en place d'un mouvement à grande échelle constitue le meilleur moyen de lutter contre la législation anti-manifestation, et que les organisateurs doivent apprendre à agir dans un environnement de plus en plus restrictif.
"That level of citizen accountability, especially when it comes to police misconduct, does not exist in the prison system. There are no cell phones that incarcerated people have, there are no cameras that they get to control," said Regan. "The BOP employees know where the cameras are and are not. So when they are committing acts of misconduct they know better than many how to get away with it."
"What we are seeing at Line 3 are definitely more significant charges or serious charges with the potential for more serious punishments," said Lauren Regan, executive director and a senior attorney at the Civil Liberties Defense Center, which is helping represent pipeline activists.
Comment protéger votre téléphone portable contre la surveillance de l'État
On today's show, It's Going Down presents a presentation from the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC) based out of Eugene, Oregon, about state and corporate surveillance, your cell phone, and how to lock it down to keep unwanted eyes from getting inside of it.
La conférence met en vedette Lauren Reagan, qui a déjà été invitée à plusieurs reprises, ainsi que Glencora Borradaile, l'auteure de Defend Dissent. Cette présentation intervient à un moment où de nombreuses nouvelles personnes s'impliquent dans des mouvements sociaux émergents, et malgré la popularité croissante de services tels que ProtonMail et Signal messenger, l'État fait évoluer constamment ses tactiques et repousse les limites de l'autonomie numérique et de l'autodéfense contre la surveillance.

Leaders of Eugene's Black Lives Matter movement reflect on momentous year — for better or worse
Tyshawn Ford (our client), on protesting: "...it creates mutual aid networks and it's a way to educate the community about the problems that are actually happening," he said. "Even though I might not physically change laws and stuff like that, protesting does so much for the community."
According to the Civil Liberties Defense Center, people have a First Amendment right to record the police and "public servants performing their public duties in a public place have no right to privacy regarding your right to record their actions."

On March 25, 2021, Springfield Police Department's "independent" expert, former police chief Rick Braziel, released an assessment of SPD's response to the July 29, 2020, Black Unity protest.
Lauren Regan, who is representing the fire chief pro bono and serves as Director and Senior Attorney at the Civil Liberties Defense Center, stated: 'The fact that an Oregon State Trooper would criminally cite a Fire Chief in this instance is contrary to the law and public policy.

Défendre Standing Rock, Combattre la Répression d'État : Un entretien avec Lauren Regan
After refusing to testify, the Magistrate Judge overseeing the grand jury held Steve in contempt of court and ordered him imprisoned. After nearly three weeks in jail, Steve was released, but the government's attack on him continues. In order to learn more about his case and the broader climate of repression against activists and protestors, I spoke with Lauren Regan, executive director and lead attorney with the Civil Liberties Defense Center in Oregon.
Alors que les confrontations entre policiers et manifestants deviennent de plus en plus fréquentes, le Civil Liberties Defense Center poursuit la ville d'Eugene et des policiers du département de police d'Eugene pour le traitement des militants et des résidents de la ville lors des manifestations Black Lives Matter l'année dernière. Nous entendons Lauren Regan, la directrice exécutive et avocate principale du centre, pour des mises à jour sur le procès.
Safay's attorney, Sarah Alvarez with the Civil Liberties Defense Center, says the code enforcement was motivated by her client's political speech and was a violation of her rights under the Oregon Constitution and the First Amendment. "Everybody, including Ms. Safay, has the right to protest and express dissent towards their government and in this case the firm Hornecker Cowling, it seemed to us, that they were using their connection and access to silence dissent and Ms. Safay's and the other activists' political message," Alvarez says

In order to learn more about Steve's situation, Perilous Chronicle editor Ryan Fatica spoke with Lauren Regan, Lead Attorney and Executive Director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center in Oregon who has spent many years of her life dedicated to defending those facing charges for their participation social movements. Our segment this week focuses primarily on another water protector, Sophia Wilansky. Lauren is representing Wilansky, a Standing Rock protestor who is suing law enforcement for injuries she sustained during a protest on the Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock in 2016 and has been following the grand jury proceedings closely.
Eugene CLDC Amends Filing Against City of Eugene & EPD To Name Officers In May 31 Protest
In the CLDC initial filing, officers had not been identified, but are now being included after identities were revealed during a discovery process. They're also calling for the removal of Sgt. William "Bill" Solesbee, or at least asking he be placed on desk duty.
"One thing that repeatedly leapt off the page of the civil discovery documents was a name that we have all seen far too many times in association with police brutality against protestors — Sgt. William Solesbee," Lauren Regan, director and attorney with CLDC, said in a statement.
Attorneys are still pursuing the lawsuit on behalf of six other people who sued the city over the way Eugene police handled a peaceful protest that turned into a riot on May 31. That's separate from a case the city settled with a Eugene Weekly reporter shot with tear gas covering the protest.
On this episode of the It's Going Down podcast, we again speak with Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC), about the changing face of State repression as the new administration takes power and the push by various forces to paint protest as "domestic terrorism."
La recherche d'eau pour la ville de Weed, plus des poursuites judiciaires
Water is always a complicated subject in California, and perhaps more complicated in Weed. The city does not own its water source, Roseburg Forest Products does. So the city is working to secure a new water source while the lawsuits fly. Some of those suits have been filed by the company against residents of Weed involved with the group Water for Citizens of Weed California (WCWC), including the "Weed 9" who have expressed objections to RFP's behavior. We sort this out with Bruce Shoemaker from WCWC and Rebecca Chapman from the Civil Liberties Defense Center.

Reporter Henry Houston said he and the Civil Liberties Defense Center, which filed the lawsuit on his behalf in the U.S. District Court in Eugene, on Wednesday settled with the city for $45,000, according to the city. Houston said he'd asked the city to alter its policing policies as terms for a settlement, but said the city wouldn't consider that path.
Journalistes d'Eugene et Centre de défense des libertés civiles poursuivent la ville en justice
"While I was recording the response, I was hit by a tear gas canister and shot by pepper balls despite identifying myself as a journalist several times." ... Houston has teamed up with the Civil Liberties Defense Center to bring the City of Eugene, the City Manager, and four "John Doe" officers to court, as the EPD has declined to name the police involved in the incident.
"I was supposed to be protected under the First Amendment and exempt from the city's curfew," said Houston in a CLDC press release. "Across the country, protesters and journalists have been targeted and injured by overzealous police response. With this lawsuit I want to change how policing is done in Eugene."
Attorneys for the Civil Liberties Defense Center are calling actions by the City of Eugene, including Eugene police, in response to the last week of protests "a draconian affront to the dignity of a righteously angered population" and are demanding an end to "preemptive curfews," the use of "unlawful and unconstitutional excessive force" by law enforcement and the stoppage of use of CS/CN gas, projectiles and other riot control measures commonly used by law enforcement.
Le 22 avril, Lauren Regan, directrice exécutive du Civil Liberties Defense Center, a intenté une action en justice devant la Cour supérieure de l'État de Californie, comté de Siskiyou, contre le cabinet d'avocats qui, selon la plainte, a initié une action stratégique contre la participation publique (SLAPP) contre neuf résidents de Weed. L'intention est non seulement de rendre justice aux militants, mais aussi de tenir le cabinet d'avocats Churchwell White LLP, qui a intenté la poursuite au nom de Roseburg Forest Products, responsable, selon Regan.
Un juge a statué que l'avocat Steven Donziger doit rester assigné à résidence jusqu'en septembre
"We believe Chevron is going after this public interest lawyer because they want to chill and scare other public interest lawyers from ever suing them," said Regan. "They want to make it so litigants cannot obtain counsel to challenge all the death and poisoning they've done around the planet."

Lauren Regan sur le renseignement gris et l'activisme environnemental / 179
Dans cet épisode de For The Wild, nous rencontrons Lauren Regan pour discuter du militantisme de base, de la corruption des entreprises et de notre droit de protester. En accordant une attention particulière aux liens de longue date entre les entreprises privées, l'industrie pétrolière et gazière et une augmentation constante de la législation punitive favorable aux entreprises, nous demandons à Lauren ce que l'augmentation actuelle du renseignement gris signifie pour le militantisme environnemental ? Quel programme pourrait être promu lorsque des sociétés de sécurité privées qui supervisaient autrefois la construction de pipelines commencent à intervenir dans la reprise après une catastrophe ?
The "choice of evils" defense, also known as the "necessity defense," places the power of justice into the hands of jurors, according to Lauren Regan, lead attorney for the activists and executive director of the CLDC. "With catastrophic climate change looming, it's time for the people to be able to decide who the real criminals are," Regan says. "The greedy corporate profiteers poisoning the water and destroying the planet, or the regular people who are willing to stand up to defend our communities?
This challenge stems from the arrest of homeless advocate Eric Jackson. On Feb. 12, Jackson was arrested and charged with criminal trespass while protesting the criminalization of homelessness by city and county authorities, as well as the plaza's curfew. "He was there to challenge the curfew and was trying to draw attention to ICE at the same time," Lauren Regan, executive director of CLDC, tells Eugene Weekly. "He is a leader and activist in the homeless community."
