"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."

Aggiornamento sull'accampamento di Newark: affermazioni contrastanti sull'attività della polizia
Secondo il Civil Liberties Defense Center, un osservatore legale è una persona addestrata, spesso uno studente di giurisprudenza o un professionista legale, il cui compito è supervisionare le interazioni durante le proteste al fine di fornire un resoconto affidabile degli eventi e ritenere le forze dell'ordine responsabili. Tipicamente, gli osservatori legali indossano anche un abbigliamento riconoscibile per designare il loro status.

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.
Una nuova proposta di legge in Oregon potrebbe trattare i manifestanti ambientali come terroristi
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
Mentre le nuove leggi aumentano i rischi per i manifestanti, Regan ritiene che la costruzione di movimenti su larga scala sia il modo migliore per combattere la legislazione anti-protesta, e gli organizzatori devono imparare a operare in un ambiente sempre più restrittivo.

"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.
Come Rendere Sicuro il Tuo Cellulare Contro la Sorveglianza Statale
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.
L'incontro vede la partecipazione di Lauren Reagan, ospite più volte nello show, e Glencora Borradaile, autrice di "Defend Dissent". Questa presentazione arriva in un momento in cui molte nuove persone si stanno avvicinando ai movimenti sociali emergenti e, nonostante la crescente popolarità di strumenti come ProtonMail e Signal Messenger, lo Stato sta costantemente evolvendo le sue tattiche e contrastando l'autonomia digitale e l'autodifesa contro la sorveglianza.

A partire dal 1° maggio, i campeggiatori che violino queste norme potrebbero essere accusati di un reato minore di classe C, punibile con un massimo di 30 giorni di reclusione e una multa di $500. La modifica ha suscitato indignazione nella comunità e a livello nazionale. Sia il National Homelessness Law Center che il Civil Liberties Defense Center hanno contattato i funzionari della città di Medford consigliando loro di non approvare l’ordinanza.

L'8 marzo, il Civil Liberties Defense Center e i manifestanti di Black Unity hanno intentato una causa federale per i diritti civili contro la città di Springfield, il dipartimento di polizia e diversi altri agenti nominati e non nominati.
La causa, intentata per conto di Black Unity, un gruppo di difesa della giustizia razziale, e di due altre persone che stavano filmando la protesta, sostiene che i loro diritti costituzionali sono stati violati dalla polizia di Springfield, incluso il capo della polizia di Springfield Richard Lewis, durante una protesta del 29 luglio 2020 a Thurston.

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.
Causa legale contro Eugene mira a cambiare la risposta della polizia alle proteste
Poiché gli scontri tra agenti di polizia e manifestanti diventano sempre più comuni, il Civil Liberties Defense Center sta facendo causa alla città di Eugene e agli agenti del Dipartimento di Polizia di Eugene per il trattamento degli attivisti e dei residenti della città durante le proteste di Black Lives Matter l'anno scorso. Ne parliamo con Lauren Regan, direttrice esecutiva e avvocato senior del centro, riguardo agli aggiornamenti sulla causa legale.

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
26 febbraio 2021: Sopravvivere alla repressione dalla Bay View a Standing Rock
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 ricerca di acqua per la città di Weed, più cause legali
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.
Giornalista di Eugene e Civil Liberties Defense Center fanno causa alla città
"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.
Il 22 aprile, Lauren Regan, direttrice esecutiva del Civil Liberties Defense Center, ha intentato una causa presso la Corte Superiore dello Stato della California, Contea di Siskiyou, contro lo studio legale che, secondo la causa, ha promosso una causa strategica contro la partecipazione pubblica (SLAPP) contro nove residenti di Weed. L'intento è non solo rendere giustizia agli attivisti, ma anche ritenere responsabile lo studio legale Churchwell White LLP che ha intentato la causa per conto di Roseburg Forest Products, afferma Regan.
"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 sull'Intelligenza Grigia e l'Attivismo Ambientale / 179
In questo episodio di For The Wild, parliamo con Lauren Regan per discutere di attivismo di base, corruzione aziendale e del nostro diritto al dissenso. Prestando particolare attenzione ai legami di lunga data tra aziende private, l'industria petrolifera e del gas e un crescente aumento della legislazione punitiva a favore delle aziende, chiediamo a Lauren cosa significhi l'attuale aumento dell'intelligence grigia per l'attivismo ambientale? Quale agenda potrebbe essere promossa quando società di sicurezza private che un tempo supervisionavano la costruzione di oleodotti iniziano a intervenire nel recupero delle catastrofi?
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."
