Members of the NYC chapter of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) will train students to become Legal Observers.
Legal Observers are volunteers trained by the National Lawyers Guild who show up at protests, marches or other actions to:
Monitor, observe, and document government conduct against First Amendment-protected activity,
Provide arrest support for protesters on the ground and help support teams track and help arrested folks, and
Empower activists and serve as a deterrent to unconstitutional behavior by law enforcement.
Legal observing is a vital way for students to protect the rights of protestors and support social movements.
