It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay2021, and while we've seen increased acknowledgement of the day from those in power, we're still waiting on action. Substantive change like returning stolen land, redistributing wealth, and an end to modern colonialism need to happen now.

Everyone deserves safe, sustainable, and affordable housing—in a pandemic and beyond. @NC_Governor needs to invest more into resources, such as @nchope_gov and legal aid representation. #HousingJusticeNow. #NCHousingForAll

“We must fight for justice, not only for rights,” said Justice Gatson, NLG National Executive Committee member, social justice doula, and founder of @SocJusticeDoula

[National Lawyers Guild @NLGnews]

In our capacity as a legal org, we are concerned with the legal precedents that may be established, as they will harm marginalized people.

As an abolitionist organization, however, NLG urges folks to look beyond protective measures of the state.

The NLRB ruling is in—all of Duke's objections to our election were overruled, as were all challenges to bargaining unit members! We feel very optimistic about the outcome of the election & can't wait for the last few ballots to be counted!! 🎉

[Duke OutLaw @Duke_Law_OutLaw]

Please see our statement on the event at @DukeLaw featuring Judge David Stras. We seek to affirm the identities of our members and to condemn the perpetuation of homophobia in all its forms.

[Duke Law NLG @DukeLawNLG]

Today, LGBTQ+ students and their allies at @DukeLaw protested a FedSoc event featuring David Stras, a Trump-appointed judge who has been touring the nation comparing LGBTQ+ activists fighting for equal accommodation with Nazis. This is abhorrent.

[Duke Law NLG @DukeLawNLG]

FYI -- @AFJustice @civilrightsorg @NCJW @peoplefor opposed Judge Stras's nomination.

Though many of our members are far away from our home watch party in Durham, a few of us will be attending across the country!

TONIGHT: we’re gathering at watch parties across the country for the 1st presidential primary debate!

Join us to let the @DNC know our generation is watching & ready to call them out. Will they finally host a #ClimateDebate & take our future seriously? https://t.co/Ed0jd7z8aL

[UNC NLG @UNC_NLG]

All solidarity with the students and community members on trial today for allegedly toppling a Jim Crow era monument to white supremacy that has stood at the center of our campus for decades.

You can support them & their attorney here: https://t.co/HleAegvL1o

Barring major changes in consumption habits, a world powered by renewable energy is a world of dramatically intensified mining - cobalt, copper, lithium, rare earths - and, as a result, ecosystem destruction & human rights violations (1)
