Updated Information from the Pittsburgh G20 Resistance Project Legal Working Group

We have committed to providing legal support for protests against the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 24-25.

If you are arrested or witness an arrest please dial: 412-444-3553

During the actions, to report surveillance, harassment, brutality or any other incidents please contact the ACLU at 412-562-5015.

With any other inquires please e-mail legal@resistg20.org

What we have committed to:

• We will run a legal hotline from Saturday, September 19th through the protests.
• We will answer calls from jail and arrest reports.
• We will track folks through jail and do our best to communicate with support people on the outside.
• We will be in communication with a group of attorneys about any legal emergencies during the summit.
• We will do our best to help arrestees and victims of state repression get in touch with appropriate attorneys for criminal defense and possible civil litigation.

What we have NOT committed to:

• We are NOT collecting individual legal information. Please fill out a legal support form an leave it with a friend or somebody in your affinity group. This will be incredibly helpful as we try to track you through the system.
• We are NOT committing to bailing people out of jail. If you are planning on risking arrest please make plans also to bail yourselves out.
• We are NOT committing to securing pro-bono legal defense for all arrestees. We'll do our best to match you up with appropriate legal help but if you are arrested do plan on the possibility of relying either on a public defender or paying for legal representation.
