The Ferguson Legal Defense Committee (FLDC) has called on all lawyers, legal workers and law students of conscience to provide legal support to the greater Ferguson organizers, their supporters and their communities, and the many communities across the country who are standing in solidarity with Ferguson.

We are looking for people to provide legal support on the ground in Ferguson/St. Louis and from remote locations in the following ways:
 
Missouri Licensed Attorneys to:
• Provide criminal representation in misdemeanor and felony cases

Out of State Attorneys to:
• Conduct jail visits
• Provide Legal Research Support
 
Legal workers/Law students to:
• Staff Legal Observing
• Provide Legal Research Support

Professors, Student Leaders and Out of State Attorneys to:
• Coordinate groups of remote legal researchers

All people of conscience to:
• Donate to the legal support fund at secure.piryx.com/donate/mS25KFCe/MORE/mikebrown.
             (Proceeds go towards bail, court costs and legal supplies.)
• Stay informed on developments in Ferguson/St. Louis and across the county
• Spread the word about our legal call to action. PLEASE FORWARD THIS CALL WIDELY


PLEASE NOTE: We are looking for politically-conscious lawyers, legal workers and law students who will respect the leadership of local activists/organizers and who are willing to think creatively and collectively about how the law can be used to support the Ferguson movement. We are also looking for lawyers who understand that the vigorous representation of activists includes respecting their client's political choices and strategies. Finally, as the death of Mike Brown has exposed an enduring fault-line in our country around race, we call for legal advocates who have a deep commitment and solid track-record of implementing an anti-racist practice throughout their legal work. Legal advocates of color, women, and LGTBQ folks are especially encouraged to volunteer.

This is a pivotal and historic moment. Success (or failure) will have a dramatic effect on police abuse, racial profiling and mass incarceration across the country. We invite you to step up and help the people of Ferguson/St.Louis.
 
In solidarity,
Ferguson Legal Defense Committee
