Liz Fink, a long time Guild member, and a fearless defender of rebels, radical and revolutionaries, died last week in her home in Brooklyn, New York. For over 40 years Liz fought in the courtrooms and in public forums, for those who resisted government repression. She helped to organize the criminal defense of the rebelling Attica prisoners, and was the lead attorney for the class-action civil rights case which after 25 years resulted in a 12 million dollar settlement. She defended Black Panthers, grand jury resisters, Puerto Rican independentistas, and Muslims falsely accused of terrorism. Liz brought skill, passion and a militancy to her legal representation that should be an example for all us.
