If you were arrested for protesting in Chicago, Indianapolis, or Louisville, the law firm of Derrick Morgan Jr, Esq will represent you pro bono
Here is a thread of lawyers and law firms representing protesters pro bono
also donate to local free legal aid organizations, because as great as it is that these lawyers are providing free services rn, many legal aid orgs already provide free services every day to people who canβt afford to pay for legal help, and rely entirely on donations. bail is important but its only step one in what will be for many a very long and expensive legal process. there are often dozens or more in each state so i wont compile a list but you can easily find the ones in your area by googling. and dont forget about the legal aid orgs geared towards immigrants, because many protestors may face deportation or other retaliation that jeapordizes their ability to stay in the US.
Youβre right! Here are two that Iβve found:
Legal Defense Initiative of Know Your Rights Camp: Created by Colin Kaepernick and focused on getting legal resources and lawyers to protesters in Minneapolis
NAACP Legal Defense Fund: legal aid fund dedicated to fighting for racial justice
Guys please add on more if you know any!!
Two more Iβve found:
Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project by Transgender Law Center:Β Β Project dedicated to ensuring βthe liberation of all Black people through community-building, political education, creating access to direct services, and organizing across bordersβ. You can also check out and donate to the other projects the Transgender Law Center has on their website (linked).
Baltimore Legal Action Team:Β Β Dedicated to legal action thatΒ βserves grassroots movementsβ and promotes race equity.
