I've been a member of the #NationalLawyersGuild since law school, when I first read the infamous "Disorientation Handbook," which taught me that I could and should subvert my law school education, but also that there were many other lawyers and legal workers who were committed to a very different way of doing law.
The #NLG is at a critical time in its history, with the #Trump administration targeting the organization for its solidarity work and its commitment to legal organizing against #fascism
Please consider giving to this campaign to ensure that the NLG has the resources it needs to continue the struggle.

Excerpt: Trump’s deployment of military forces to L.A., and particularly an invocation of the Insurrection Act, will create a legal and ethical dilemma for service members. “Soldiers have not only a right, but a duty, to refuse illegal orders; yet the legality of those orders would be determined by courts-martial of refusers. And service members have a moral obligation not to harm the innocent; yet such harm would be inevitable if troops are used against civilians here,” Kathleen Gilberd, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild’s Military Law Task Force (MLTF), told Truthout.
The task force said in a statement that it is “opposed to the use of military forces to ‘put down’ or ‘control’ the heartfelt reactions by community members to workplace immigration raids in Los Angeles and other cities.” Moreover, it added:
"The MLTF will be developing a more comprehensive plan of action, including the use of Article 138 of the UCMJ and the Nuremberg Principles. For now, we pledge our support for members of the National Guard and the active-duty military personnel who are opposed to attacking and killing those who oppose the illegal and immoral removal of undocumented workers."

STATEMENT BY THE MILITARY LAW TASK FORCE OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD ON THE USE OF THE NATIONAL GUARD AND ACTIVE-DUTY TROOPS TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION TO I.C.E. AND D.H.S. ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS.
The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild is opposed to the use of military forces to “put down” or “control” the heartfelt reactions by community members to workplace immigration raids in Los Angeles and other cities.
The Trump administration claims the use of the troops is necessary because local police are incapable of protecting the masked, non-uniformed, but heavily armed, federal forces from ICE, DHS, ATF and the FBI. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In California, for example, Governor Gavin Newsom has denounced the use of military troops as a dangerous escalation of the confrontations. We agree. We remember how National Guard Troops fired on student anti-war protestors at American universities.
The MLTF will be developing a more comprehensive plan of action, including the use of Article 138 of the UCMJ and the Nuremberg Principles. For now, we pledge our support for members of the National Guard and the active-duty military personnel who are opposed to attacking and killing those who oppose the illegal and immoral removal of undocumented workers.
It is important for servicemembers to recall in these moments that each step in a chain of orders must be legal for their orders to be legal – including whether those orders are issued under the appropriate authority.
Service members with questions about illegal or unjust orders can contact the MLTF at (619) 463-2369 for a referral to an attorney to discuss their rights.

Did you catch the error in this protester's arrest technique? #nationallawyersguild and #aclu trainings emphasize that during the #arrest at this #protest the arrestee should have shouted out his name so that #legalsupport could determine his status and help obtain his release. https://www.amazon.com/Cybersecurity-Activists-Watermelon-Book-2025/dp/B0F5NKC8Y5 More on these topics in my series of three pocket guides "Cybersecurity for Activists" an encyclopedic dictionary for protesters and resistance folks. #teslatakedown #handsoff #50501protests #50501movement #50501protest blurring faces would be nice in some cases though it is probably not needed in this particular case . -

This is my favorite #lawprof Arthur Kinoy being dragged off the floor of Congress after being held in contempt for demanding to cross examine a witness against his client at a House Unamerican Activities Committee hearing. I miss Arthur every day. #NLG #NationalLawyersGuild
