NLG Fam! I can only think of one thing more exciting than our kick-off event this Week of Abolition, our WEEK-LONG BOOK DRIVE!!!
Books are crucial to society as a whole, and even more-so to incarcerated individuals for simple pleasures we enjoy, such as - Access to Education
Mental Stimulation
Rehabilitative Success
and much more that you will certainly be hearing about throughout this week.
We'll see you at the Drive!

UMass National Lawyers Guild Chapter and Massachusetts National Lawyers Guild Chapter are so happy to be hosting our legal observers training. If you are interested in attending, contact [email protected]. Please send your registration forms in by Sunday, November 5th at noon. PILF Approved!

Attending the training is a great way to become more aware of the rights you hold at protests as well as play a significant role in keeping others safe. Legal Observers serve two related but distinct functions. First, their presence at protests and other political actions serves as a deterrent for police misconduct. Second, Legal Observers monitor and record instances of police misconduct.
