Other things to keep in mind: 2) Remember that plea deals in criminal cases might affect your ability to pursue a civil rights suit. Consult a qualified attorney to discuss your specific case.

Other things to keep in mind:
1) Consult with a qualified lawyer to talk about timing and deadlines for any individual suit or group suit – and how lawsuits might affect mass defense in ongoing criminal cases.

New Resource ....

[Ohio Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild @OhioNLG]

From an open letter to mvmnt: Police have offered false explanations for their visits, claiming 911 calls were made from the homes. Police have targeted experienced organizers and newer activists, protesters, medics, bail fund members, and others. #WeKeepUsSafe

From an open letter to mvmnt: Police have visited at least a dozen people statewide in pursuit of photos, videos, and personal testimony. We have also received reports of police surveillance and trash seizure at homes at all hours of night and day, while driving, and elsewhere.
