Why Become a Member of the National Lawyers Guild?
As a member of the National Lawyers Guild, you stand with thousands of attorneys, jailhouse lawyers, legal workers, and community members who have dedicated their lives and work to the proposition that human rights are more important than property rights.
Members are the Guild’s lifeblood and determine the Guild’s future. Without the support and countless volunteer hours we receive from members, we would not exist. Please join our ranks and help us create a more just world. Please join/renew today. It is an honor to work by your side for justice.
