Planning a Public Demonstration: Legal and Practical Considerations

About This Event

Join The Legal Centre for Palestine for Planning a Public Demonstration: Legal and Practical Considerations at 7:00 PM Eastern on Thursday, September 17th.

We know that collective action and activism in all its forms cannot be made completely “law-proof" and individuals who organize or participate in demonstrations face real legal and personal risks in the current climate. In support of informed advocacy, this session will cover the changing legal landscape and what protesters and organizers can do to reduce their exposure to criminal penalties. Additionally, we will discuss considerations like location, the role and impact of law enforcement, and responding when things don’t go to plan. An audience Q&A will follow the presentation.

Whether you are a seasoned organizer and or newer to the scene, we hope you will walk away feeling more confident about how to understand and assess risk in your demonstration activism and make informed choices.
