Newsletter for 3rd Quarter of 2014
Introducing our Newsletter for the 3rd Quarter of 2014. Please enjoy and catch up on all the work the Chicago NLG and its committees have been up to! The newsletter is interactive, so all of the links (email addresses, web sites, Convention pic) actually work if you click on them.
(dis)Orientation 2014 — It’s Not You, It’s Law School!
DisOrientation is an event for students to discuss surviving law school with our values and commitment to social justice intact. Come meet NLG law students, legal workers, and attorneys, while attending various panels and trainings on how to become a peoples lawyer.
The NLG is dedicated to the need for basic change in the structure of our political and economic system. We seek to unite the lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people, to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.
Our aim is to bring together all those who recognize the importance of safeguarding and extending the rights of workers, women, farmers, people with disabilities and people of color, upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends; who seek actively to eliminate racism; who work to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them; and who look upon the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression.

Chicago Legal Observers in Ferguson
Our NLG Chicago Legal Observer Program volunteers are in Ferguson, supporting demonstrators and monitoring police. We have been working in cooperation with attorneys in Missouri on a Mass Defense of those persecuted by this insane system that has befallen the citizens of Ferguson .
We need your help. $10, $20, $100 will ensure that “boots on the ground” are there to ensure civil rights for the people that have had enough! DONATE HERE NOW!
