The National Lawyers Guild is dedicated to the need for basic and progressive change in the structure of our political and economic system. Through its members -- lawyers, law students, jailhouse lawyers, and legal workers united in chapters and committees -- the Guild works locally, nationally and internationally as an effective political and social force in the service of the people. Our aims: . to eliminate racism; . to safeguard and strengthen the rights of workers, women, farmers and minority groups, upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends; . to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them; . to use the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005) Thank you for your intentional and courageous act on Thursday, December 1, 1955. Thank you for changing the world on a cold, cloudy afternoon in Montgomery. You refused to give up your seat on the bus to a white man, not because "your feet were tired," but because you were deliberately resisting an evil that denied the humanity of Black people in America. Thank you for spurring the historic Montgomery Bus Boycott, a popular direct-action movement that asserted the morality and dignity of the struggle against white supremacy. And thank you for your lifelong commitment to the liberation of Black people. You are immortal. We are all better women and men because you lived.
