Legal observer program

The Legal Observer Program involves trained volunteers who attend protests or demonstrations to monitor events, document interactions with law enforcement, and ensure that rights are respected. They do not interfere but observe and record any legal issues, instances of misconduct, or violations of rights. Their presence helps promote accountability, provide support in legal situations, and support the right to peaceful assembly. Legal observers play a vital role in ensuring that protests remain peaceful and lawful, offering an additional layer of oversight to protect participants and uphold civil liberties.
