With civil rights leaders and activists George Crockett, Jr., Bob Millender, and Claudia Morcom, Ernest went on to found Goodman, Eden, Crockett, Millender, and Bedrosian, the first racially integrated law firm in the country.

Two of these attorneys, Maurice Sugar and Ernest Goodman, began the Sugar Law Center for Economic & Social Justice, a Detroit law firm, that was active in defending workers and their unions, such as the United Auto Workers, and representing Black people who were being harassed by the police.

Detroit attorneys were among the founding members of the NLG in 1937.

You may have heard about our comrades in the National Lawyers Guild Detroit & Michigan Chapter who gave us the evergreen reminder about shutting the f*ck up when interacting with police.

Each year, the NLG convenes our members and allies nationwide to make decisions about our governance and organizational policies, engage in political education and legal skills building, and discuss issues pertinent to the movements we serve.

This holiday season, honor someone special in your life who fights the good fight and give the NLG a donation in their honor! This is an opportunity to show someone you understand their values, and the organizations that are important to them, so do not hesitate!

Then giving the gift of an NLG Membership is the right gift! Let folks close in your life know that they are not alone in this wild word, and sign them up to become an NLG member!

Is there a legal worker who you know will benefit from connecting with others who have a grand tradition of fighting for people's rights?

Know someone who should be in the NLG, but has not signed up? Have you been telling your radical lawyer friends to get connected with other radical lawyers, but keep dragging their feet (or are too busy in court, I guess?)?

This booklet goes over the basic rights people in the U.S. have when out exercising their First Amendment right to free speech.

P.S.,
Remember, just because you have rights, does not mean the police will respect them!

Today, we want to highlight our Know Your Rights for Protesters booklet! Read these yourself, hand them out to your friends and family as stocking stuffers, or share them at your local zine fest.
