A year without Roe. We're reflecting on the year past and preparing for the year ahead.

We invited B, a third-year law student from the University of Oregon and part of our summer law clerk program, to share their reflections as a former abortion provider turned future lawyer. When they're not studying civil rights law, you can find them making multi-media art, rockhounding, and snuggling with their dog.

Biscuit Forest Defense: 20 Years Later

Register at cldc.org/biscuit20

Join us on Thursday, May 4 at 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET. Please enter your email address to be registered for a reflective conversation with Biscuit forest defenders who worked to defend one of the most bio-diverse forests in the country. The George Bush Administration proposed the largest timber sale in modern history which resulted in a robust campaign and forest defense effort.

Lauren Regan, CLDC Executive Director and Senior Staff Attorney and forest defenders will share about their resistance, the lessons learned through their activism and legal fights, and how their participation in the campaign continues to impact them today.

"A new bill in Oregon could target environmental protesters as terrorists:

The blue state could become the 20th in the U.S. to enact a so-called critical infrastructure law."

Suing to keep us quiet!?! Not on our watch💪. Help us expose corporate bullying and #StopSLAPPs🛑

Share//Repost to support @greenpeace as they fight back tomorrow in Oakland:

On Thursday, April 20, 2023, Greenpeace USA will argue its motion for summary judgment in federal court in Oakland, CA, making its case that the lawsuit brought by Resolute Forest Products should be resolved in Greenpeace USA’s favor once and for all.

Come and show your support for and solidarity with Greenpeace USA in our fight against corporate attacks against our voices. Come and learn more about this growing threat to free speech and what individuals and impacted communities are doing to assert our First Amendment Rights to speak out when corporate actors try to shut down environmental advocacy.

20 Years Later, We STILL Have Your Back!

As we approach Earth Day we are clear that the earth needs defenders more than ever and the stakes are higher than ever. CLDC has had your backs for 20 years and we plan to keep it up until the need is no longer there.

From the fight to defend the earth to the movement for reproductive justice, we're here to embolden activists and frontline communities in their efforts by providing critical legal support, representation, and education.

Our organization was born from the environmental and animal rights movements, but we know that all struggles are interconnected and until ALL are free, no one is.
