Legal Solidarity of the Bay Area is an autonomous collective providing legal solidarity and education for radical action toward liberation in the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe that preparation for repression is a necessary tool for autonomous actions and social movements. By organizing in advance, we seek to transform the ordinarily oppressive experience of arrest and incarceration into one in which power is built through careful legal solidarity.
We cultivate legal solidarity, offer popular education, and provide support for direct actions, protests, demonstrations, and communities resisting displacement. We connect people with networks of available resources.
LSBA opposes all forms of oppression. We work to dismantle racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, classism, capitalism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression in the larger society as well as within our organizations and movements.
