Movement support
The NLG is committed to supporting movements and activism for social, environmental, and legal justice.
-
We are organizers at heart. We look for opportunities to match needs with resources, to amplify the community efforts taking place, and to help grow and increase the impact for change!
​
-
There are many ways to problem solve, and the NLG recognizes that legal action in a courtroom is not the only way to bring about lasting, systematic change - in fact, it is often a last resort. However, given our work within and familiarity of the legal systems, can we help provide some advice or guidance that may be helpful?
