People's Law Collective
The New York City - People's Law Collective is a collective of anarchists who are also activists, organizers, law students, community and legal workers. We are not lawyers. We are people with knowledge of the legal system, its value and limits, and how it can be used for and against us. History and our own experiences demonstrate the need for legal resources offered from a radical perspective. Used in this way, the law is one tool among many for our movements.  nycplc.mahost.org
