Supporting the Struggle<\/h2>\n

Civil Liberties Defense Center supports movements that seek to dismantle the political and economic structures at the root of social inequality and environmental destruction. We provide litigation, education, legal and strategic resources to strengthen and embolden their success.<\/p>\n

CLDC educates, supports and defends grassroots activists nationwide. We are dedicated to being a backbone for the grassroots and the frontlines. We help activists navigate the legal system, we represent them at no cost when they are arrested and we help them make smart choices in the face of state repression. We provide the necessary legal support so that activists can have long, sustainable lifetimes fighting in the movement for justice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Support Our Work<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

When everyone feels like a target of the federal government, CLDC continues to stand up and defend those who are most at risk. We are experienced and tested movement lawyers who understand that every case may be a battle for liberation, the survival of the planet, and all who live upon it. Since the presidential election, we have experienced a surge in requests for legal support and trainings: the State is expanding its target list and adding violent military responses every day, so we\u2019re armoring up with every legal tool we have. Now, we ask you to help us increase our capacity to add more movement lawyers to our team to support people and movements most at risk nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
