In the fight for climate justice, we need lawyers who are on tap, not on top; who reject harmful hierarchies and center movements instead of themselves; who are zealous and skilled advocates; who balance urgency with efficacy and care; who engage generously in information-sharing and collaboration; who value creativity and a willingness to advance novel legal theories; and who bring to their practice anti-racist, anti-colonizer, anti-carceral, and anti-capitalist values. We at Climate Defense Project strive to be those lawyers. CDP supports front-line activists, advances creative strategies and overlooked legal arguments, connects attorneys, experts, and community members, and provides direct representation to those criminalized for protest, direct action, and resistance efforts.
