Join us for our Testimonial Dinner.
Join us on Saturday, April 27th as we honor Christine Brigagliano and Nancy Hormachea as Champions of Justice, Osha Neumann as Unsung Hero, and the California Coalition of Women Prisoners as our Partner in Liberation.
Hundreds of progressive, radical legal workers, lawyers, and law students, and friends will join in honoring members of our community at the National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Testimonial Dinner 2019 held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Human rights must be regarded
as more sacred than property interests.
We defend and
protect communities.
NLGSF brings together progressive lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers to protect and defend communities, social justice movements, and political and grassroots organizations and activists organizing for their self-determination and rights.

Our committees do groundbreaking work
Through projects with our
community, we transform the system.
Prisoner Advocacy
The Prison Advocacy Network (PAN) is a volunteer network of activists, attorneys, legal workers, and law students. We are supervised by attorneys and thus operate under attorney-client privilege and can use legal mail. PAN is an advocacy network, not a litigation team.
We Know Our Rights
We Know Our Rights is a multimedia video toolkit for people dealing with law enforcement, produced by NLGSF and independent producers April Martin and Lucia Palmarini.
Anti-Repression Committee
Originally formed to support Occupy Oakland actions, the Bay Area Anti-Repression Committee (ARC) stands against political repression and is in solidarity with all those who challenge the state, capitalism and other forms of systemic oppression and domination.
Anti-Fascist Work Group
The Anti-Fascist Work Group (AFWG) is an informal network of grassroots community, activist and political networks committed to defending their own communities, movement spaces and activities, and local businesses against attacks by white supremacists and hate groups.
