The Project 

The DC Movement Lawyer Project is creating space for movement lawyers, law students and legal workers, aspiring and otherwise, to be trained in support of the Movement 4 Black Lives DC (M4BL-DC). Currently, L4BL-DC serves as legal advisors in relationship to M4BL-DC to strengthen their influence and their legislative agenda. This project will further the development of L4BL-DC's infrastructure, membership and provision of direct legal support of the M4BL Black-led organizations.
