NLG Know Your Rights Website Available for “Anonymous” Activists
- The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) has launched a website, www.anonlg.com, with Know Your Rights information tailored to [educate and legally defend] individuals subjected to recent U.S. Department of Justice arrests, searches, seizures, harassment, and grand jury subpoenas as part of the FBI’s “Cyber Crimes” operations. Activists who have already been targeted or are concerned about their safety may call a Guild hotline— 888-NLG-DANK— or access the organization by email at help@anonlg.com.
- The NLG advises anyone visited by the FBI to assert the right not to answer any questions, to get the agent’s business card and to state clearly and unequivocally that they will have an attorney contact the agent on their behalf.
- The National Lawyers Guild, founded in 1937, is the oldest and largest public interest/human rights bar organization in the United States. Its headquarters are in New York and it has chapters in every state.
