On last week's Law and Disorder Radio -- a weekly hour long program that airs Monday mornings at 9:00 a.m. EST on WBAI and around the country throughout the week, hosted by attorneys Heidi Boghosian, Michael S. Smith and Michael Ratner (Center for Constitutional Rights) -- topics explored include Occupy Wall Street, Barack and the Constitution, a report on the Coalition of Immokalee Workers efforts to get a fair wage for Florida tomato pickers and Pam Martens (CounterPunch) explains how Wall Street firms spy on protesters with tax payers footing the bill for the spying. The moment that most needs repeating? We'll go with this one.
Michael Ratner: Well here we are three lawyers to talk to you a bit about some updates on Occupy Wall Street. The first thing we want to do is give you some information about what to do for your rights and if you are arrested. And we have Heidi here, who is the executive director of the National Lawyers Guild, she's going to give you the web site which lists not one 1, not 10, not 20, but 75 cities where the Guild has a presence and more where you can call if you get in any trouble with the cops with your Occupied territory, etc.. Heidi, why don't you give people the website? Heidi Boghosian: Well the National Lawyers Guild website is www.nlg.org. You can check for a contact person in your local jurisdiction if that's posted on the site or just give us a call -- the number's on the website, (212) 679-5100 -- and we'll find a Guild attorney in your area. And if there isn't one in your area we'll make every effot to match you up with either an ACLU attroney or another progressive lawyer. Michael Ratner: Say the number again, Heidi. Heidi Boghosian: (212) 679-5100. Michael Smith: That's www.nlg.org. Michael Ratner: The Guild has been everywhere. There's a list as I said of 75 where you can go to. So again, thank you, National Lawyers Guild, we are there for Occupied Wall Street.
