Steps to get legal support from MDC at your action

IMPORTANT: Our phone is not on 24/7, we only turn it on when it has been requested of us by organizers and we have responded that we are able to provide legal support by phone for the action.

Please do not communicate or post on social media that we will be providing legal support for your action until we have confirmed that we will be able to provide legal support.

Asking for legal support for your action:

  1. If you are not an organizer, please contact the organizer and ask them to contact us for legal support.
  2. If you are an organizer, please fill out this form: https://tinyurl.com/requestmovementdefenseTO
  3. Wait for a response from us about our capacity to provide legal support. We aim to let you know in a timely manner ahead of the action. Depending on the nature of the request and our capacity, we may be able to have our legal observers attend your action, have a criminal defence lawyer staffing our phone line, or both.
  4. Once we have let you know what type of legal support we can provide, feel free to communicate this to attendees.

Please keep us updated on anything that arises that might be relevant to us.
