The oldest and most extensive network of public interest and human rights activists working within the legal system.
Since its inception, NLG-SFBA has been dedicated to mass defense and protecting the rights of demonstrators as the legal arm of the movement. The San Francisco office of the National Lawyers Guild opened its doors in 1969, in the midst of the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) student strikes at San Francisco State College (now named San Francisco State University). The office opened with the goal of providing legal support to students and solidarity activists on the frontlines of social movements by helping demonstrators navigate and understand the legal system they are up against.
