Line 3 resistance cases are winding down. We expect most of our work on Line 3 cases will be wrapped up by 2023.

If you want to get involved with other water and land defense projects we invite you to learn more about the fight against Line 5, Thacker Pass and Winnemucca, Defend the Atalanta Forest and the Mountain Valley Pipeline resistance.

If you want to get involved in legal support for other social justice struggles we invite you to explore the National Lawyers Guild of Minnesota, or Law for Black Lives

Who We Are:

We are a collective made up of individuals with experience in a wide variety of activist legal defense organizations, including: Coldsnap Legal Collective (RNC 2008), The Civil Liberties Defense Center, Water Protector Legal Collective (Standing Rock), The RNC 8 Defense Committee, Anarchist Black Cross prisoner support, and more.

We are working to facilitate and support legal planning for activists targeted by the state during the Line 3 pipeline resistance campaigns. We hope to help prepare people and support their efforts to build their own legal support structures within their affinity groups and organizations, rather than having a service model of legal support. We are also aware that not everyone comes prepared to the resistance, and sometimes people are swept up in mass arrests without support or resources. We aim to make sure no one falls through the cracks—please contact us if you or someone you know needs support with their Line 3 related arrest.
